About $4 for a switch at radio shack, then it is just a matter of a little wire, and desciding what you want to kill, fuel or spark.

unhook the battery and you won't shock yourself. Whenever you work on the electric's you should unhook the battery.

Other than that, it is just a matter of picking what you want to shut off, and how you want to do that. Basicly just installing a switch inline to not allow one peice to turn on.

Yes that is pretty much, what you are going to do, is put a switch on one of the wires, so that without the switch being turned on, the relay won't triger (you don't want to put a switch in on one of the actual power wires to the stuff, you want to just turn off the ability of the relay to energize).

There are lots of ways to do it, just a matter of getting the right wire. Although, doing this, is always going to be one more thing to check if you have problems with the car.

When I put the T-56 in my IROC I had to move the ignition lockout from the shifter above the tunnel, to the clutch pedal. It's a 10ga wire that goes in yellow and comes out purple.

I figured since I was cutting the wires anyway, and I had the tranny tunnel all torn apart, I got a bunch of wire and ran it through the console to the rear passenger ashtray (underneath the center glovebox).

Got a nice fat switch from Schmucks and installed it inside the ashtray. Cut the back of the ashtray out so it was only the flip door. Even sitting in the back seats you would never ever notice it (unless you were smoking, which you wouldn't be in my damn car )

Car doesn't need that circuit to run, just to spin the starter, so it was as simple as reaching back to hit the switch, reach forward to start, then flip the switch back off.

So if you see a nice black IROC being driven around Lacey by a short redhaired guy with a beard, now you know how to steal his car.

sort of, yes.

it depends on what wire you are getting at. and where you are putting the switch. There is more than one way to skin this cat.

How long... I could probably get something going in 15minutes, but again, it depends on what wires you descide to access, and where you want to mount the switch.

inside the front ashtray is always a great place to hide switches. That is where i currently have my nitrous and exaust cut-out switches.

Do not put it under the dash. Any idiot car thief knows to look for a valet switch.

Use something clever like the cig. lighter, or use a stock switch like the map light switch in your upper console.

You want either:

1) A preexisting switch or button that is unused.

2) An area that is easily reached by the driver, can have wire strung to it, is not visible by driver or passengers, and is not under the dash by the drivers leg like everyone else's.

Friend of mine used a female RCA connector on the dash in plain view. Then he had an RCA connector "fob" on his keychain. The fob completed the circuit when it was plugged in. Noone would ever think of doing THAT. Way less obvious than a switch.
