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.

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!

Very good technique for personal safety.

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

Out all the videos this is the best I'm so using this method rn

This is awesome! Thank you.

Great video!!! I wish I could love this video

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.

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.

Thank you

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

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

I used the speaker wire and I checked the fuse that put on the wire. It seems okay and I checked the switch. It seems okay so what could be wrong?

Why don't you use no start on the automatic transmission selector lever inhibitor won't start6 in drive or reverse

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..

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

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

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. 😅

Every collectible car should have some type of kill switch

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

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

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

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

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.

hey @ChrisNCars I have a question, Its stumped me for months at 0:58 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

Do not do this. It is ineffective. Simply pull a relay instead.
