Here's a LINK to a how-to from a site I used to be on. A lot of the members on there have done it without problems. As it mentions on there, make sure to use blade connectors so that in case the switch burns up you're not SOL.Originally posted by 92dmI was actually just being a smart ass, and not really contributing to this at all.

I was thinking about this.. I don't remember what the main relay looks like, but I do remember that it is hard to get to......I was thinking maybe it would be possible to relocate the main relay so that you could reach under the dash and unplug it easily. So when you park in a crappy neighborhood you can just reach down there, unplug it and take it with you. Perhaps even plug a fake relay in there. This might be a better idea for those of us who have "gutted" interiors and the fuel pump wires are easy to see. What do you guys think?

Just to help, This is the main relay:
On Sunday I got my wagon stolen and thank God it was recovered about 60 miles away in Azusa. The asshole used a key that looks like the tiny mailbox key. Used the car to get where he needed and then picked up another Honda to get back. I had to pay impound $225 "Cash sir. no credit card" and fill tank and drive it sixty miles back with the smell of butts. But I got it back!
The main relay idea is great...but it is very hard to get to. I would love to relocate it so I could remove it every time I exit. But it is also a bitch to unplug and plug. So where is the ECU fuse? Or what # is it? That sounds like a better solution. What about removing the 80 amp under the hood? I'm out of money and I need to come up with $1,114 for Joe's housing at USCB by the 15th, so don't mention car alarms.

why dont you just make a switch instead of pulling and and putting back the relay? u could mount the switch anywhere too so no one could find it
