ignition kil switch

[cys19]

Where did you all get your ignition kill switches if you have one? And who did you get to install it? Is it hard to install?

[navysnail]

normal switch from radio shack, and they are easy to install

you could take it to a audio/security store, or i guess i could help you, just wire it up to the low voltage part of the ignition system

[cys19]

they have instructions that come with it?

[navysnail]

nah, all you need is a switch, some wire, and a soldering iron, you can do it that way

[cys19]

i'm confused already. I need pictures, etc., lol. i'm about to get an S14, and i dont want it jacked the next day.

edit: Also, is it possible to install more than 1 kill switch? Thanks.

just pop your hood and pull your coil wire off:D

[navysnail]

lol 1der, i do that sometimes, if im in a higher crime area and im gona be gone for a while, i mean why not

[Mr1der]

you should take a wheel with you too:D

[cys19]

yal think autozone'll do it for me?

[cys19]

just pop your hood and pull your coil wire off:D

What about pulling a spark plug wire off?

[navysnail]

the coil wire is the one that goes to the distributor, if you just pull one plug wire, it will still run, just on 3 cylinders

[cys19]

cuz i heard the coil wire is inside the distributor in the S14

The SE models have a built in factory security, w/ starter kill.but here is your shopping list. If you get a base model.

(1) SPDT bosch 30amp relay4' 12 gauge power wire6' 18 gauge primary (4) female insulated spade terminals (2) 12 gauge (2) 18 gauge (1) 18 gauge ring terminal (1) self tapping screw 1/4"(2) star washers same size as self tapping screw (inside Diameter)(1) 18 gauge fuse holder with wire loop pre-teminated style(2) 18-22 gauge butt connectors(1) discreet looking switch to be mounted in a hidden location with 5amp capacity(25 zip ties.

Then you'll need some solder and a soldering iron, some heat shrink, a pair of wire-crimpers,wire-stippers, and diagonal side cutters. Find the starter wire and cut in two, leave enough length where you make the cut to make connections to the 12 gauge wire, run heat shrink around the soldered connections, run them to where you plan to mount the relay.Connect one end of the 12 gauge to terminal #30 with a female spade, and the other to #87, Terminals # 86 and #85 are the coil side of the relay. Wire #85 or #86 to the switch via 18gauge wire and solder to the switch terminal, the other side of the switch needs to go 12 volts constant power use the fuse holder and insert a 7.5 amp fuse upon completion of your wiring. The other terminal that you didn’t use #86 or #85 whichever needs to be connected to 18 gauge then terminated with the ring terminal, use a star washer on each side and insert the screw and drill it into a metal part of the dash subframe. Make sure all your connections are secure and tidy up you wiring with the zip ties to keep them out of the way of moving parts like heater actuators and the steering column and pedals, start the car with the key, if it starts flip the switch and try again. It should not start, otherwise you’ll need to check your work. let me know if I missed something but I think that's it. Good luck

Cool, I didn't know the SE came with one! Cuz I'm getting an SE! Where is the starter kill located? And if they are all in difference places, where can I find it? Is it possible to change hiding locations for the switch? Thanks dude you're the best.

It arms after you lock the doors via remote or key, or if you hit the lock switch and then close the door. The red light next to the security label starts to blink after 30 second of being on steady. If for instance you were to reach into an open window and open the door the alarm will start to sound (HONK! HONK!), and will continue unless you push unlock on the remote or turn the key in the door cylinder towards unlock the car won't start even if you push in the clutch. There is no switch! The only interfaces are the key cylinders and the keyless entry remote.
