Kill Switch from Fuel Pump

WanderingSniper said:

Hi all,

To my knowledge the only kill switch discussion is about the Ravelco which I"m not putting on the Grenadier (although it's on my other cars.) I want to install a dedicated kill switch from the fuel pump, so that even with my key the truck still can't be driven off easily. Obviously anyone can do anything with enough time, but this is one more step. I bought a switch from Concord Aerospace (SCE - AUX for all that get it) and want to install it overhead in the blank space. Can anyone explain to me if this will work (our fuel pump needs a chip from the key) and how hard the wiring might be?

Thanks

Or you could just move away from Los Angeles to a place where people don’t steal cars.

Hog wash!
I’ve lived in more parts of Los Angeles, and Orange counties than I care to count. And while I never had a car stolen from me, I would never go back.
More recently I’ve lived in San Luis Obispo county and find it a refreshing cowboy frame of mind.
Still you couldn’t pay me to live in California.

Now in attempts to REALLY escape the garbage I spent 10 years living in central and north Idaho.
Keeping far enough distance from Boise, Twin Falls, and Spokane (Especially Spokane…) I found peace.

I’ve since lived on Maui (garbage)
And now found myself settled in South West Victoria Australia. All in efforts to get as far as possible away from the stupidity and decay of western society.

Unfortunately I don’t think it’s possible to completely avoid, but I’d say this is as close as I could get. Bottom line. At all cost. Escape from LA…

I haven’t seen anything that someone’s done yet for this. It may be an idea to ask @rusnak for help with regards to the electrical schematics or as mentioned above pull a fuse in the interim.

While appreciate the moving out comments I’m stuck in CA. My profession is based here as is my wife’s. We could move…but then I couldn’t afford a Grenadier in the first place. As for the kill switch I’m interested to hear more about either the relay or the coil if you can elaborate. I’m going to look into the throttle idea right now though….

I assumed that the “coil” suggestion was just a quaint throwback to much earlier times…
