Fuel Pump Kill Switch January 26, 2012, 04:31:53 PM Something I've been thinking about doing for some time now, is installing a switch in the RWBB that when flipped, will disable the fuel pump. I've decided to go ahead and do it. Not only will it allow me to make the car more theft-resistant. It will also allow me to bleed fuel pressure off before working on the fuel system. I'm gonna install it within easy reach of the driver's seat for convenience.It will be easy to do. The tan/light green wire that runs past the passenger side doorsill grounds the control circuit in the fuel pump relay. Interrupt that wire with a toggle switch and you can now enable, or disable the fuel pump at will. Anyone else ever think about doing this? Quote Selected

Fuel Pump Kill Switch Reply #12 – May 13, 2012, 06:41:40 AM Thats true CHROME. But do you know anyone looking to steal a car carry a fuel pump relay with them ????????????. I hear what you are saying and it is something we do for people with cars they want to protect. Kill switches are good for a fast way to protect your car. How it is dun is every ones personal choice. (killing ignition or fuel pump or starter etc) Killing the pump relay is a very good way to accomplish it. Just make sure you hide it GOOD. :burnout: Quote Selected
