[blue87lx]

how do i install my cut off switch to shut the car down? by the look of the instructions im going to have to run wires from the altenator to the back and back up front. can anyone help? my battery is in the hatch also

if you have an Msd box its easy if not, i would cut into the ignition wire and put a switch there, so if someone want to try to steal your car, it will crank but never start.

im talking about the switch that goes in the back on the outside where if its off theres no power and if its running and u switch it to off the car shuts down

oh ok, there is a thread on this, i am moving my battery to the back and doing the same thing soon, if you go to the search thing in the forums and type in Battery cut off switch, and it will take you to a couple of threads on this.

I think he's talking about a full electrical system shut off switch. You should just be able to get a high votage turn style switch which is probably what you have and run your pos. batt cable to it, then out, which will disco the batt and you'll have no electrical at all when it's off. The hardest part should be finding a place to put it, if you want it inside as a security thing or outside for the safety team to be able to get to at the track.

I'm going to put one on my vert and mount it right inside the rear driverside window so when I'm at the track I can just roll that window down before the race for crash team access plus it will be close to the battery so I don't need so much cable.

For security I don't think you need anything this complicated. I have two simple toggle switchs, one in the trunk wired to the fuel pump power, the other is in a different location which is my secret, but it's also wired to the pump, both need to be switched on or it will just crank and run for about 5 seconds until the fuel runs out of the lines.
