Battery Kill Switch Installation

1
I at times consider the possibility that my car
will be stolen, and that I will not have a way to
kill the battery or some vital part of the
vehicle in order to prevent the thief from taking
my vehicle.
2
I then discovered that there are little devices
called battery kill switches that are easy to
install, and provide a quick and efficient way to
render your vehicle useless before the thief even
starts the ignition.
3
This is mainly because the ignition is blocked
from being able to start in the first place.
4
With that said I would like to inform vehicle
owners on how they can safely and easily install
a battery kill switch, so that they too can worry
less about their vehicle being stolen.
5
The first step in installing a battery kill
switch is to make sure that the ignition of the
vehicle is turned off, and that you are wearing
the proper safety equipment.
6
Once the two above requirements are met you
should remove the battery cables by disconnected
the positive then the negative cables.
7
The next step in the installation process is to
connect the kill switch wires.
8
The best way to connect the wires is in between
the cable and the battery terminal.
9
It is important to remember the location of the
switch wires because the actual switch will also
need to be on the same location in order to
properly work.
10
Once the switch wires are properly installed it
is time to reattach the battery terminal.
11
Complete this process by first connecting the
positive terminal of the battery back to your
vehicle, and then for the negative terminal of
the battery.
12
Once the above steps are taken it is now time to
find the location for the kill switch.
13
The switch should be placed somewhere that is
hidden, but is still easily accessible to the car
owner.
14
Once the preferred location has been found the
owner of the vehicle needs to drill some pilot
holes with a drill.
15
Run the kill switch wires through the new holes
in order to connect them to the kill switch
itself.
16
With that done a driver should be able to easily
and discretely kill their car battery once they
have reached their destination without having to
pop open the hood of the car.
17
If popping the hood of your car was required each
time to activate or deactivate the kill switch
then that may become apparent to thieves who
would then know where to tinker in order to
disable the switch.
18
In conclusion, drivers should now have a basic
understanding of how to safely and properly
install a car battery kill switch in order to
prevent thieves from stealing their vehicle.
