Do not pull on any of the wires, as this can cause damage. How can you determine which one you need to splice into when installing your kill switch? Start by connecting the black probe from the multimeter to a bare metal surface this will ground it. Then, turn the tool on and set it to 20 DCV. The live wire should test around 12 volts. This will be the wire that is triggering the relay and is the one you should splice into.
This will prevent blown fuses and help keep you safe while you work. To splice the wire , simply use wire cutters to cut it across the middle. To install this on your car, you will need to go under the car and find the fuel line. This is not the best kill switch to install if you plan on using it daily.
The manual battery switch is a way to disable the power to your ignition, preventing your car from starting. This is one of the easiest kill switch options to install in your vehicle. To add this, you will need to unscrew the negative cable connected to your battery. Once it is off, you can then slide the battery cutoff switch on to the negative battery terminal and tighten it up.
Then you can take your negative battery wire and slide it on to the battery disconnect switch and screw it on. These battery disconnect switches will come in a turning knob, lever or some even have a key that needs to be used in order to turn the switch on and off. The downside to this kill switch is that it requires you opening your hood each time to get to your battery switch. This could be located under the hood, or the cable could be extended to put the switch under or beside the driver's seat be sure to use 0-gauge cable and a heavy-duty rotary switch.
The downside of this approach is that disconnecting the battery will reset the radio settings every timeno power means no memory features. The trickiest option is an ignition kill switch. Using your wiring diagram, find the wire responsible for activating the starter solenoid and install a switch as far from the ignition as possible in that circuit you don't want the potential crook to easily find it.
Or, if you just want to do it the free and inconvenient way, pull the fuel pump relay from the main fuse box usually under the hood as you're stepping out of the car and put it in your pocket: percent effective. If it is not there, look in the fuse block under the driver's side of the dash. The objective is to locate the fuse, remove the fuse block bolts or screws, turn the fuse block over and locate the wires to the fuse.
There are usually only two screws or bolts securing the fuse block to the body. With the fuse located and the fuse block loose, place your finger on the fuse and locate the wires leading into the fuse from the rear of the fuse block. Cut either wire about 6 inches away from the fuse. Give yourself plenty of room to attach the wires. Run two gauge wires from the fuse wire that was just cut, through the firewall to the ignition kill switch.
Connect one of the wires to the length of wire coming out of the fuse with a blue butt connector. Crimp it tightly with the crimping tool. Do the same for the other end of the wire that was cut. Replace the fuse block and insert either the bolts or screws and tighten them. Connect the switch end of the wires with blue post-type connectors to the switch.
