    I'm looking to install a simple kill switch as a theft deterrent. I did a fair amount of googling but didn't find excatly what I was looking for. It looks like other people usually install the kill switch on the fuel pump, right?

    Can someone help me out with a parts list, diagram and instructions? I know that's a lot to ask.

    Even just some helpful links would be awesome.

    Doubt anyone will give you directions. Them being;
    #1: You didn't bother listing the year or engine of your truck. Some electrical schematics change in location and color.
    #2: Nobody wants to show the world how and where, in detail, how to defeat their kill switch.

    IMO the best way to introduce a bypass to a circuit to avoid the truck from starting is either the starter relay or the pnp or csc switch.
    Get an ewc for your year and you can probably figure it out.

    THIS.

    I had a legit Toyota installed Locktronics engine immobilizer (which was a Toyota dealer option across their entire line of cars back in the 90's early 2000's) that basically worked on the same principle as that eBay listing, but was installed by Toyota. It was terrible. It was taken off because it would stop the engine from turning on at the worst possible times. If I remember correctly, it was also horribly designed. All you had to do was cross two wires and it was defeated.

    Get your EWD for your truck figure out what you want to do.

    Keep good notes of just what you did when it leaves you sit and it needs towed home

    Go to a Honda forum . Guarantee you get answers . A large number of tuners have them so they must have some moderate success .
