Start Button Kill Switch Harness

[mattyice]

dumb question probably, but... does the start button need constant power while the vehicle is running or only power while sending function commands? So if you turned off your kill switch while the engine was running, nothing would happen except the inability to kill the engine using the start button, right?

I'm just kicking around ideas of how to wire this in and a momentary switch seems pretty intriguing.

Is anyone interested in a harness to wire in a kill switch for the start button? I did not want to cut factory wiring so I made a harness with factory plugs and 2 wires that will lead to a kill switch. $25 shipped. View attachment 57316

Great idea I’ll take one

Am a lil lost here, so how does this harness work , what exactly does this harness do and how can it prevent your truck from being stolen ?

The idea is that you hide in the back seat with this harness. When the thief jumps in, you use it as a garrote.

If you flip the switch while the truck is running all it does is disable the start button from functioning, the truck will remain running.

Can you confirm that you've done this yourself? I'm not challenging you or anything, but I've been wondering the same thing - if the kill switch cuts power to the start button, I would have thought that it would set the start button to "off" (meaning the engine would be stopped, just like hitting "off").

Its just a momentary switch, why would flipping it matter?

sure have, accidentally hitting the switch before trying to turn the truck off and briefly being confused as to why it won't turn off..

No problem at all, it's $35 due to shipping cost. I will PM you the details
