Kill switch ideas

[GeoffM]

I'd like to make a few kills switches, but I don't know what to cut.
pr3pg4lyfe gave me the idea of cutting the main relay, and I might cut the starter. Any other Ideas?
Off limits:
Fuel pump
(Most likely) Injectors.

Nobody is gonna steal your car. Just drop the idea before you ruin your wiring.

I'm way too paranoid to do that, but at the same time I do worry about my wires. That's why I haven't made one yet.

I have a kill switch toggle to my fuel pump. I forgot the color for the positive. Look up the wiring diagram in your Haynes repair manual if you have one. mount the toggle where noon can find it, and also easy to access if you daily drive it. i have mine completely locked away because my CB is stored 90% of the time.

I know I said off limits, but I could have one mounted in a separate location for long term storage. That way I could park it and not have to worry about someone finding my other switches.

Thats a good idea. Just have them piggy back, or 2 totally separate. Like starter, and Main PGM-FI relay for example.

Another question:
Would it be ok to just cut the ground for each case?

[SaiSofine]

I cut the positive because it is a live feed. so it kills the power directly to the unit itself. Im sure it wouldn't really matter though.

[GeoffM]

I was worried the varying electricity amounts would do bad things if I used the wrong switches.

[SaiSofine]

On the Main relay it wont matter, a single toggle will do the job. If your going to be doing a starter kill, i would recommend something a little bigger like a 40 amp toggle and a 40 amp fused relay to prevent any damage.

[GeoffM]

If I go too big, will it matter?
Ie for any positive I cut, use the 40 amp toggle?
Also, why use a relay If I'm using the large switch?

[SaiSofine]

no it should only matter is you use to small of wiring and relays. I use the fused relay because it is basically just like a fuse distribution block for car audio, Just a differant name.
Only the starter should use that to be safe. Main relay you can just use a simple toggle in the positive with a fuse on the non-live feed side.

Wire it so that the e-brake has to be electrically activated. By this I mean, it has to be up one click at all times, or the main relay dies, no visible switch to be found anywhere, and I doubt a thief would ever think that the e-brake not being up is why the car won't start. If I remember correctly, you are automatic, so you can park and leave the e-brake off.

Wouldn't that cause me to drive with the e-brake on? That would cause all sorts of problems, brakes dragging, abs shutting off.
But If I did it the other way, meaning pull it up on click to disable the relay, then the thief could see the brake light indicator on my dash.
