Need a Fuel Pump Kill Switch

I just bought a 2012 Tacoma 4x4 I4 to replace my stolen Suburaban. The Suburban was stolen from a parking lot in broad daylight.

Since the I4 doesn't even have the engine immobilizer, I am very concerned about theft.

I think maybe a fuel pump kill switch would be the best option. I just need to know how to easily find the correct wire to splice into.

I found this http://www.fjcruiserforums.com/forum...ost426005.html and wonder if it can be applied to our Tacomas, or if there are better places to splice into the wire, maybe at the fuse box itself ?

Anybody done a fuel pump kill or can help with finding the right wire ?

I really love this Tacoma and dont want to lose it like the Suburban.

Thanks

 

You can do that, but a determined thief who wants your truck is going to have your truck. They can pull up with a wrecker and winch it up on the back, for example.

If you want to install a kill switch (fuel pump, ignition, whatever) you just need to find a wiring diagram and tap into the appropriate line.

I'd recommend that you spend your money on lower deductible insurance.

 

Completely agree, just want to have as much of a deterrent as possible.

A wiring diagram is exactly what I need. Anybody have one ?

Thanks

 

Search for Dorman Motor products switchable relays. They make a fuel pump relay with an on/off switch on the outside. Not sure if they make one for Toyotas or not yet. It's used for diagnosis, but would work good in your situation also.

 

Nope. Check Toyota's website and you'll see the base Taco (even 4x4) doesn't have it.
