Default Re: kill switch questions

Not that i know...but if this would help, my brother had a Rustang 5.0 and had the fuel relay located under the drivers seat.(factory) My brother used 2 wires(power and ground) To a small toggle switch, which he mounted inside the rear ashtray, which was located behind the center arm rest.....It was pretty cleaver...Also i have seen people run 2 wires from a relay (fuel or starter) and they used the High beam switch for the head lights....pretty neat idea....Get in the car and pull back or push forward on the stall and u activate or kill the power going to the switch....

I hope these ideas will help....
I like the idea of running 2 wires from the relay box, under the trans tunnel and installing a small toggle switch in the rear ash tray...or even better, my 99.5 has a "blank" spot where the OBDII plug used to be...it can be mounted in their..

stay safe
DG

Default what i've seen...

wire to the high beam relay so you have to pull the high beam to start (starter)

wire the relay to the shifter colum under the shifter boot, toggle switch (fuel)

cut off the ciggy lighter's power, wire the fuel wire to it, then use an old cell phone adapter, open it, close the circut, plug it in to start and drive (fuel)

note: fuel pump relay takes about 2 hours to compeletly "kill" the car, if you just stop the car and someone start your car, he would still be able to drive about half a block or so. As with the high beam ignition kill, it's a hassle if your car is being valet or back to the dealer for service.

Default it's by the

you'll have to do some searching and testing of the wires.
