what is the easiest way to wire in a kill switch??? if i did this id prob put the switch somewhere i could flip if with my foot or where it isnt noticable so i can make it seem that all i do is start the car and no one will be able to see me reaching for a switch.... thanx in advance guys, Tom

 

Easiest safe way is to wire the switch in series with either the neuitral lockout on an auto, of the clutch interlock on a 5spd. Makes it seem like you are in gear or clutch is not pressed in and therefore car won't start.

My car has a adjustable column (they prolly all do) and the gap between the bottom of the column and the under-dash panel is big enough for me to put my finger in and press a button...

You can use a double-pole relay with an ignition-source feedback loop into the trigger, which will mean that you can use a momentary button (only on when you hold it down, instead of an on-off button) This will mean that the killswitch will automatically arm itself every time you turn the ignition off. And when you want to start, turn your ignition on, hit the button (this will deactivate the immobiliser and it will stay deactivated as long as the ignition is on) and you can start and drive away.

Also, you will need a way to allow a valet or friend to drive your car without giving away ur secret switch. This can be in a weird place that they will never think of, and will be an on-off type switch in parallel with your regular switch or relay.

Use ur imagination for the killswitch location! Don't put it under the dash or under the seat where it can be seen by someone looking for it. I suggested putting it on the driver's seatbelt clasp so that when you put ur seatbelt on you can press it and nobody will know you pressed it.

Get REALLY imaginative, and use the dual-relay setup and you can use a magnetic reed switch (the kind they use on burgular alarms to sense doors and windows) and mount the reed switch behind a plastic panel. Then you just need to hold a magnet near it to avtivate the switch. You could put the reed switch in the driver's side of the center console and clip the magnet to your belt, or put it on your pocket so it's activates when you sit down.

Of course, you have to think of your own location and switch style. Just don't tell anyone. Don't come back here and boast about how ingenious it was for you to put the switch behind the little door in the steering wheel opposite where the cruise control mounts!

 

i wish i knew what you were taling about??? im so confused right now....LOL

 

The absolute easiest way on a 5spd is to get a regular toggle switch, mount it under the dash, and run the two wires tot he clutch interlock switch. The one with the grn/blk wire, I think. Wire your switch in series with the clutch interlock switch. When the switch is ON the car behaves as normal, when the switch is OFF the car won't start.

On an autobox, you need to look at the neutral safety switch. You'll need a wiring diagram for the autobox to see how to wire it in.

I'll post a diagram of the double-pole relay with auto-arming tonight. It's really simple - I just make it sound difficult so you'll think I'm really smart.

 

one of my friends with a 3000GT had a kool kill switch....it looked like a screw on the dash.....but it was really a button - hahaha

 

Another Maxima owner told me that he had a kill switch installed by an auto stereo shop. It was a standard offering for $50-70. His switch was installed on the driver door as part of the rear window switch. He would lift the rear window switch as he started his car.
