Welcome to another episode of Mighty Mods
now today is all about car security...
now its not about elaborate, fancy, expensive stuff
its about simple, cheap, effective stuff that you can do at home
just to make sure your average idiot doesn't take off with your ride
for example...
This guy.
Well...
There goes the car so as you can see, a kill switch is probably a good idea
now we just have to find someone who knows how to put one in.
They say he lives off a diet of only terodactyl eggs
now we don't know where he gets them from and we don't know why
all we know is... he's pretty good with a soldering iron
come and meet him.
Right, so the materials you need
really basic multimeter to find the right wires
heat shrink to wrap it up once you've done it
drill and reamer to make the hole to stick the switch
soldering iron to solder it all together
25 amp wire thats to carry enough current to start the car
wire strippers and basic tools
Okay, so you've seen all the stuff you need... lets go
The first step is to get to the wires that make up the ignition circuit
These are generally located near the ignition barrel
If someone is going to take the time to hotwire the car
Thats how quick it is to get into it
Now your best bet is to use a service manual
To find out exactly which wires make up the ignition circuit before you cut anything
Hopefully we cut the right one, and it wont start
Nice
Now if someone jumps in your car to try and steal it
The first place they are going to look for a switch if the car does not start is in the glove box or the dash board
So dont put your switch there
Try and find somewhere a bit more creative
So what i've done is just wire it in with this switch temporarily to make sure it works
So switch in the off position
Car dosnt start
Flick it on
Away it goes
Now it's a good idea to wrap and hide your wiring as best you can to make it look factory fitted
It might not fool professional thieves
But at least it might slow them down a bit as they go searching for your switch
Then get your 25 amp cable, and run that switch to somewhere in the car and hide it well
Be sure to solder and heatshrink the cables really well
Because if they are damaged quiet simpley your cars not going anywhere
Lets see what happens this time
So the kill switch is in and the cars safe pretty cool mod
What do you reckon Marty
No-one is going to try and steal it
Well the thing is, I don't think anyone is trying to steal it anyway
