How to Install a Hidden Kill Switch in your Car or Truck (Cheap Anti Theft System)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 апр 2019
- Instead of installing an expensive car alarm system or using ineffective methods to prevent your car from getting stolen, learn how to install an inexpensive, hidden kill switch. simplisafe.com/dreamcar
This kill switch is easy to install and anyone can do it at home with basic tools. It can also work along with your car's current alarm system. How it works is it cuts the power to the fuel pump so you cannot jump start the car, hot wire it, or even push start it. In order to steal the car you need to tow it! It is better than a batter quick disconnect because your computer wont restart and you wont lose your radio stations.

A kill switch doesn't stop them from just towing it away...
That must be the first time that you've been happy about your car not starting😂
They could also just swap out the fuel pump relay for a couple wires to turn the fuel pump on.
Nice Skyline Chris
Chris what about a video on how to protect your sideview from being stolen. I know of a lot of case where the mirror itself was stolen not the housing. I saw a company that sells very nice looking protector that cover the border of the mirror so that you cant pull them out but they cost 200 dollars. I really liked this kill switch video. This will definitely be my next project.
After watching a 18 minutes and 12 seconds video

You should get a license first.
Lol I know right as I was watching I'm like I want one but yeah need a car

This is gold. My dad used to do this to his cars by using the cigarette lighter. The car wouldn't start unless the cigarette lighter was pushed in. The thing I like about the fuel pump method is that the thief doesn't know for sure if there's a kill switch - there could just be something else wrong with the car. And the repeated attempts at turning it over make a lot of noise, which is when they get introduced to your baseball bat.
Sounds like a perfect introduction!
Also, put a big sock over your baseball bat, that way, if someone grabs it, they just grab the sock.
OR THE 9...

@@badboyz6584 Brilliant!
From an old Air Force electronics teacher and electronics technician, just to add a small bit to your comprehensive presentation: We always had to read aloud a "caution" about probing connectors. If you've never probed a connector with multimeter leads, it's possible to damage the connector. Just do this part with a little extra care so as not to damage the connector. Excellent video - thanks!
Thanks!
has the beauty of hermetically sealed packages faded or are they still sexy A.F. in your eyes as they are mine?
Definitely this, working with equipment we usually keep a handful of different pins soldered to short leads for probing for a quick insert that won't risk damaging the connectors.
You sound pmel

But this man can inspire you to do just about anything. Definitely one of my favorite channels on RUclips. The presentation is always top notch. I wish more facets of life had how to's that were the quality of ChrisFix videos.
In this case polarity doesn't matter, but it's a good idea to do like spade connectors on the same side so you never plug the wrong wires together,
ALSO cut the wires at different lengths so it's harder for them to short out

*sees shift lever*
*gets out of car*
Lmao XD.

I wished this could be the same in England, everybody here drives a manual
@@capri4682 same in croatia
True story. I had a 1990 Toyota Camry stick shift. One day I found some punks broke into it, jammed the ignition to ON. But obviously the car didn't move because these young punks had no idea how to even start a stick shift, not to say drive one. This was in California.

Hey Chris! I recently bought my dream car, a Honda S2000 just like your friend, and it was actually stolen from the previous owner in 2009. After watching this video and seeing the beginning it was practically an omen telling me to install one of these lol. Your video was incredibly helpful and now there's a killswitch cleverly hidden in my car! Thank you!

@@royjohnson465 Steering clubs are more effective when locked on the back side of the steering wheel according to car guys. They can't freeze it and hit w/a hammer. Then again I hear they just saw through the steering nowadays.
@@Victorylap-fy4ke ~Thank you for that tip. I did not know that, I do have a steering wheel club and putting it on the “back side” may come in handy unless they saw through my steering wheel.

Now I just have to convince my better half...
End up doing it? If so, did you have any difficulties?
I want to attempt it on my sisters Hyundai as it was already stolen earlier this month and found later during the day. Got it all fixed up, now to make it harder for the fucks to steal it next time this happens 😂

Thanks!
You do a wonderful job explaining things that anyone can understand. In the old days we would just cut and splice the coil to the kill switch but you better know what you were doing because that coil was like a stun gun if it grounded to something you were touching! But that was in the early 70’s!
in the days of a single ignition coil with distributor prior to coil packs.

Amazed it's taken so long for this idea to re-emerge. I fitted one to my 1948 Morris minor convertible back in the 1960's.
My 1986 Vauxhall Nova had a distributor and points, so I broke into the 12v supply to the coil and installed a switch and capacitor to earth, so the engine would crank but there'd be no high tension supply to the sparkplugs. When I finish rebuilding my 1970s Land Rover I'll be installing something similar. The only downside is both vehicles have mechanical lift pumps, so cranking the engine without starting will flood the engine.
Wow, from one youtuber to another, you did a great job on this!
I just want to say a huge thank you for this! I saved for ages to get my dream car a 2005 Mint condition and totally original Subaru Impreza WRX STI and this is the first thing I did. I did solder my connections to be even tidier but exactly 6 months into my ownership (two.weeks ago) I awoke to the sound of a smashed window and my dog barking. My engine was cranking but the car didn't start. I went outside and shouted out to see two lads running off down the road. My car was damaged but not gone! It works!
and...
S L joatnh
What di they do to get the engine to crank?
Stephen H lmao that’s what I was thinking. They needed his key to crank the car over.
Stephen H you don’t need the key to crank the car. Just brake the engine switch and stick a flat head screw driver into it. That’s what all the thieves do.
Hey chris, try use double ON switch, and connect the power to the horn, so if someone try to switch ON your car, they just activate the horn
Your car engine wouldn't start and you also notices someone is breaking your car
basically poorman's alarm
That's really clever, I like the idea!

Thanks a lot!
This is such a good instructional video!!! Love how you explained everything!
As a professional auto mechanic, I got to see several different "kill switch" installations but the most ingenius theft prevention did NOT include an aftermarket switch of any kind. It was NOT a kill switch but a START PREVENTION system. The owner had the starter relay connected to the HIGH BEAM side of the dimmer switch so the only time the starter would engage was when the HIGH BEAMS were turned on! If done properly, I would challenge ANYONE to find out why the car would NOT start!
Smart. I’ve heard of people doing this with their ac controls as well

cig socket too
But, if the car has a manual gearbox, you can just bump start it.......not very smart.

Really great video, I'll definitely rewatch this when puting a kill switch in my car
Years ago I had a 1968 GTO. For a kill switch, I just ran a wire from the ignition coil to a toggle switch and grounded it out. Worked like a charm. Times were much simpler with that generation of vehicles..no electronics, no computers, no endless array of sensors...just a lot of engine.
Wish it was that simple! But this is pretty straightforward too if you know what you are looking for!

Gonna try to daisy-chain them so that several switches have to be set to the right position, mad max style
And when you connect them in parallel. Leaving your car at some place would be parallel parking...
haha, up down up up up down up down down ... vroom!
At that point... wouldnt it be easier for the thief to just cut the wires and stick them together?
@@DivinityOfBLaze yeah, that’s what I usually do 😉
@@EdwinvandenAkker 15
What would you suggest if the relay is under the hood? Maybe tap in the pump harness...?
This is a great idea but could be implemented in a better way: add a 'momentary' push-to-make switch in the crank (or security) circuit. This way, it is automatically 'armed' when the motor is shut down (you don't need to remember to throw the kill switch). But moreover it avoids the potential danger of the fuel pump accidentally being stopped while you are driving (at which point you might miss your power steering and servo'ed brakes (if auto)).
Gotta install a 2nd decoy switch that just activates the horn and can't be turned off
Then how would you turn your horn off and stop people around where you live from destorying it?

"The only way to steal your car is to tow it"
Tow truck driver: Hell yeah
repo man has joined the chat
You can still win. GPS welded into the frame with 1/4" steel plate and a separate battery that is charged by the main battery. GPS receivers draw very little power and you can easily run it for over a month even after they chopped the car. Show up with extra keys and buddies, take it in broad daylight as you can prove ownership and nobody else can. This avoids fighting for your car and the theif would have to identify themselves to stop you.
A siren welded into the frame on an "always on" circuit, that activates permanently once a certain wire is unplugged. Any random wire will do, try to pick one on a valuable part that can be split where it isn't seen.
Nobody ever chops a frame, and this makes it so they have to cut the frame (extremely loud) to make it stop. They'll dump the car ASAP or run
My dad's Austin mini got chopped in his work parking lot while he was working. A loud noise would have saved his car and given him a chance to see how many people fit in the trunk :P
@@FletcherHillier eh easier to hook up a tracker to a fuse tap, just pop off a panel in the footwell and drop in in a hole in the frame, even just leave it there without bothering with the frame at all it isnt like the repo guys are looking for a tracker

@@FletcherHillier for sure, best thing to do is always gonna depend on your specific vehicle, preferences, capabilities, and purposes
Dudes lil example of how the kill switch is going to work is on point!
I saw this on another youtube channel where they were testing anti theft devices and this made the top and the cheapest thing to buy
I find a good habit to get into when adding switches is to use one male and one female connector on the switch leg wires. That way, if your switch goes bad and your stuck without tools, you can just unplug the switch and plug those wires directly to each other.
Also, I would avoid using a style of wire loom or wire color that is blaringly different from stock appearance. Run those wires tightly against stock looms when possible. Hide em!
Personally I like to have a bit of fun with my kill switches. Its an opportunity to get creative. My last one, I installed a 3 legged switch. One hot for pump in, one for pump out. The third leg, when switch is armed, redirects power to the horn. Someone trys to hotwire the car and they blast the horn instead. Probably won't stick around to figure it out after that.
Thanks a lot and good ideas.
Could I make one of the buttons in my car be my kill switch, such as rear defrost?
@@BustaShenanigans I know its possible, I just don’t know how.. sorry if this isn’t helpful lol
Can you make a tutorial of that?
@@BustaShenanigans Yeah but you'd probably have to be more eletrically talented - i know it'd probably be easy with a personalized CPU, but probably much more difficult if you just try to do it eletrically

Added benefit, Prime new oil filters after an oil change with the switch in the cut off position.

Farrel Pramono Mom: why are you crying so damn loud
Perhaps we can start a support fund to help him get a replacement. I've had quite a bit of experience with thieves so I know how he must feel
