I am thinking of installing a 'Kill Switch'. The two most common options are cutting power TO the Starter or the Fuel Pump.
One additional option is a 3-way switch on either of those two pieces of equipment with power to the Horn in the Off position. So, someone tries to start the car and gets a blaring horn. Hopefully, they move to the next car.
I am not trying to add a failure point. Afterall, I would know where the switch is and restitution would be just a matter of connecting 2 wires. Car thefts/car jacking are both on the rise. I just want to keep my car safe.
I don't want one of those electronic remote battery disconnect switches because I don't want any electronics.; that would be adding a failure point. Besides, my battery/leakage does not need a granny/babysitting monitor. I just a plain manual toggle switch, hidden of course
What are your thoughts?
