What Wire to use to install a security toggle switch

[PlayingWithTBI]

Could also rewire the starter with a remote solenoid to the battery or somewhere hidden,

Yeah, good idea, use an old Ford style solenoid.

man that is to simple to do. yeah great idea. I just rewired a 1956 case tractor and it is a very simple and effective system.

great idea!

disconnect fuel pump harness ground from the frame and connect it via a thick cable with a switch, locate the switch in the rear wheel arch so you can get to it easily.

Ground based relays, less wires hot to deal with if they chafe and hit metal. Ie, put a ground interrupt on the fuel pump relay is an easy one. If you want to be cleverer, wire up a timer based relay so it runs for 5 seconds only then trips, but they are more expensive than a one wire toggle round trip to break a circuit.

You could also require power on a switch, like say, you have to turn the dome lights on to trigger a relay in the path of the trigger for the relay of fuel or ign...Then even if they find a toggle switch, its a rats nest of wires to figure out other stuff. Also, make every wire the same color.

Do you know what wire i should run the switch on if i want to cut off the ground on the fuel pump relay? I have a 1994 sierra. Or any wire in general that would be safe to cut for a kill switch.

i made an interrupt switch on the fuel pump ground wire, above the rear left wheel.
