How to install a kill switch in your classic car. If you have a mechanical fuel pump in your classic car you probably can't do the traditional kill switch in car method. This is my preferred method of protecting my classics from getting stolen.

finally, a video that's simple and quick . most videos go on and on and by the end, it cost $200 . thanks

I think I will put 10 of those switches on the dash and have a sequence of up and down like a helicopter or airplane.

I just had my 84 Celica stolen three days ago. They found the vehicle and she's back home now, so I am going to be installing a switch like you just demonstrated. Thank you for this super clear tutorial!

A clean install and you were careful. I saw one guy who didn't even bother to insulate his solder joints, unlike you who used shrink tubing. Good job!

Thanks for the video. I have an old truck, and the other videos were all showing the fuel pump solution.

@eltomas3634 3 месяца назад

One tip if you do this: Some time in the future if your vehicle doesn't start, check this circuit. Even though I used a HD quality switch, the switch broke internally and would only fail occasionally, took me a long time to track it down. It's good to have one still.

That's a good idea but I have another idea you can add to that consider having to kill switch inside the glove box won't you put it on a remote key fob that way you control the on and off when you leave your car and there's no kill switch to find😅😂

@Bosbackyard 4 месяца назад

Been debating on doing it this way on a couple of my cars. Thanks for clarifying 🤙 The switch not get hot without a relay? Had 12v electric fans wired straight to a switch in my g body and it got super hot until i put in a relay..

@ChrisNCars 4 месяца назад

Not the ignition switch, not pulling as much as motors would

@joshuaatkins5197 7 месяцев назад

If you're saavy you can wire it through multiple switches so it has to have the appropriate combination to work correctly.

hi I want to smog my car, that's all i need to legally drive it, although i had to disconnect negative battery and reconnect it, when ready to go..but now my guy tried installing a kill switch with wire from an auto parts store, so i guess he accidentally did it backwards and burnt the wire I smelled it a little.. I just want to go back to how I could disconnect negative battery terminal and reconnect it when i'm ready to go... how bad is the fact we burnt that wire, he told me don't drive it the next day, I can't get ahold of my buddy... pls help i want to smog it i'm just scared to drive it since he said just don't drive it the next day by the way the car runs very good, it'll pass smog, but yea this was 3 days ago can you help? if he didnt say don't drive it the next day I would take it to go smog. I only have until 6-6-23 to complete smog pls help

@moosecouture1 Месяц назад

The other reason for doing this is to allow electrical work to be done with the key engaged and if you forget, since you were working on the car not driving it, and walk away the coil doesn't get so hot it burns down your house.

@gamerfan1135 8 месяцев назад

I'd modify a vent cover into being the switch. Simple as that.

@engine5020 2 года назад

@Wilson-oq8xz Год назад

So something in my steering column is broke on my 77 c10. Won’t allow the key to turn backwards it’s stuck in auxiliary. Can turn forwards to start but can’t kill the truck. Could this be a temporary fix for my situation?

@grandam Год назад

Yes. The same thing happened to one of my 78 Regals. It gave me signs that the switch was bad before it did what yours is doing. Got to work and couldn't kill it. Mine would stay forward on startup and I would have to manually click the switch back one notch or the starter would stay engaged 😬 I replaced the ignition switch and had no more troubles.

@autorocket2411 Год назад

hey @ChrisNCars I have a question, Its stumped me for months at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="58">0:58</a> there's that real flat wire bolted to the cab, do you know what that's meant to do because I have one on both sides and neither of them are hooked up

@ChrisNCars Год назад

That’s a grounding wire. You probably have engine grounded somewhere else would be my guess 👍.

@autorocket2411 Год назад

@@ChrisNCars is it required to make something work?

@ChrisNCars Год назад

@@autorocket2411 yeah the negative part of battery is grounded and all the electrical components have a ground. So they all use they frame, body, engine, etc to function.

@poolman8676 2 года назад

Dude I like it. I bought this thing that mounts under the hood. It disrupts the flow to the battery. It's big and bulky but it has a remote control on it. So it's cool is, I can use the key fob and shut it off when I go somewhere and then there won't be any power. I haven't installed it yet. It was 35 bucks back in the day. It's probably 50 nowadays with this stupid economy. Would you recommend that thing or your kill switch? Just wondering. Awesome video again brother. Thank you

@ChrisNCars 2 года назад

Yeah, sound better then a toggle switch haha! If you have some sort of Bluetooth link thing go for it. On this video I am just going for an economically friendly extra step in not getting your car stollen

@joakimcroteau1913 Год назад

It sounds like a cool concept, but I would always recommend a mechanical switch over a remote. As a guy who has installed A LOT of Bluetooth underglows, those remotes are often finicky, and the batteries tend to die all the time. Annoying when you’re trying to show of your lights on Main Street, REALLY annoying when your car won’t start. 😅

@jarnailpanesar1684 2 месяца назад

I used to switch 250 V and 25 A. It worked at first then the car turned off so what could cause this and I put a fuse in one of the wires

@ChrisNCars 2 месяца назад

Probably a fuse somewhere down the line. Get a volt meter and check you are getting proper current before and after switch

Does this apply to 90's model Semi Trucks also?

Probably, just need to find ignition power.

You should use a 10-12 gauge wire and the plug is in the comments of this video. Good luck!

@eric-mq5dq 14 дней назад

my 77 c10 key is stuck forward in the auxiliary position, allowing me to start the truck but not turn it back far enough to turn it off. i have changed the ignition cylinder and have the same issue. would this be a good temporary fix to shut the truck off until i can track down the issue? thank you. Also i am assuming since i cannot turn the igniton on/off i wont be able to use a test light on the wire to test it. any advice? thank you

@ChrisNCars 14 дней назад

@@eric-mq5dq if you can get the cylinder out I would just replace the entire assembly. This would work to allow your car to turn on and off but you will probably blow a fuse or your coil out.

That's correct, "batt" power cable or cable that powers on with key and goes to distributor.

Or you can just install the kill switch to the starter rather than the fuel pump

@anthonynguyen9779 6 месяцев назад

Yes, I think the starter would be a better solution because the thief won't be trying to start car more than once or twice and drain the battery. Do you have a wiring diagram to do this?

@UsefulEntertainment 3 месяца назад

lol no, if i were trying to steal your car and it didnt crank, im immediately going to look for a switch and i can because the car didnt make any noise to blow my cover. kill the ignition. it makes a hell of a racket trying to start and i would bail.
