DIY: Push Start Kill Switch
With Z theft going up I thought I’d go old school and set up a kill switch. I’ve seen people wire it to the fuel pump relay, but it’s located in the IPDM, which is next to the battery in the engine bay and a headache to wire a switch to. Another option is to wire it to the ignition wire in the push start button, which is what I did. The connector to the button has a bunch of wires going to it, and the ignition input/outputs are the black and gray wires. I circled them in the photos as well as the pins they plug in to. In my case I spliced into the input (black wire) and set up the switch from there. The push start now does nothing unless the kill switch is disabled. It was fairly straightforward, and the hardest part was getting creative with where to hide the switch.
