Starter Kill switch

Searched on here to see if anyone has posted thoughts on how to install a kill switch but to no avail.

So my question is - install a switch in the wire from the ignition to the solenoid thereby isolating the solenoid, or put a stich inthe wire that feeds the +ve side of the coil?

I can't believe we are all driving about withot something to make our bus's harder to steal.

 

mine has a switch under the dash that livens up a spark plug in the top of the fuel tank and its also got the chasis wired to the live wire on the mains hook up, not to mention the miniature rotweiler in the glove box and a few other surprises

 

Don't think anyone has posted on this as they don't want everyone to know
where and how they have done it.
Not all folks are nice like us

 

There's lots of ways to do it, If you have a new loom fitted most have a switch built in. But its another only you need to know.

On this subject where have people put their tracker???

 

In the bin cos its rubbish

 

I think anyone intent on nicking your motor will know what to do without being told

First step - fit an engine lid lock if you haven't got one: Bays are easily hot wired, so switch in the ignition supply with a naked engine lid is a bit pointless. Switch in the solenoid lead provides some protection, but there's more than one way to get the motor rolling. If you've got the stock steering lock, always engage it before leaving the van - it's quite hefty, and your steering column would look like a bit of twirly pasta before it let go.

If you've done that, some kind of mechanical steering wheel krook-lock thing is prob best. Sticking the distributor rotor in your pocket is another old-school method

 

Whs
If you can get in the engine bay you can start it in seconds no matter how good a alarm immobiliser you have

Also If it is taken it will properly be on a recovery truck

Thanks for your thoughts - I must get an engine lid lock pronto!!!!! Hadn't given a hot wire start a thought until I read wot snotty and matty have written.

By coincidence I saw a Bay in Tesco's car park in Keynsham yesterday with an old fashioned crook lock on the steering wheel. Must see about getting one.

The agreed value insurance is already done and agreed.

 

Oh yes - K Town - the centre of civil unrest here in the West.

 

This is all the protection anyone needs

..... still is full of charity shops but there is a Costa Coffee now too

 

when worried (which is often) I unplug the coil wire going to the distributor cap and lock the engine hatch.
