I think if I were to get them today, I'd try mcmaster carr or somewhere that sells like a Bosch or other name brand switch.

- Sat Jun 14, 2008 6:40 pm #58505 use a switch in your car that doesn't do anything. like get an AC button if your car doesn't have AC.

- Sat Jun 14, 2008 8:23 pm #58518 If you're going to do that you'll need a relay. I could tell you how to wire it if you give me the wiring for the switch.

- Sat Jun 14, 2008 8:36 pm #58520 that would be a great idea in the ac button. not to sure how i would wire it, where exactly does it wire too? and can you get kits to do it and ill just wire it to a button that is unused?

- Sat Jun 14, 2008 8:59 pm #58523 I drove a corolla once that you had to hold in the hazard switch to start the car, kinda made it obvious when you had to start it, cause the 4 ways would come on each time

Remember when Civics were cool ? Yea me neither

- Sun Jun 15, 2008 8:40 am #58585 Sorry for the lame question... I have no clue what exactly this.. "kill switch" does. ....

- Sun Jun 15, 2008 2:28 pm #58601 it cuts the fuel off, to the engine. car won't start with out it.

On the AC button there are four wires. Two of them are to light the LED on the button, the other two are the switch input and output. Cut the latter and wire them to a SPST Auto Relay like so:

Ground one of the AC switch wires to the chassis using a ring terminal and a metal tapping screw.

Connect the other AC wire to 85 on the relay.

Connect 86 to 87.

Cut your fuel pump power wire in two.

Also connect 87 to the power side of your fuel pump wire.

Connect 30 to the fuel pump side of the fuel pump wire.

- Mon Jun 16, 2008 10:04 am #58723 .. A must! Thank you very much... I will be doing this for sure
