I want to put a hidden kill switch in my 2016 Mazda 6 but want to know what will keep the car from cranking. I don't want to cut anything to the fuel pump as I don't want the car to crank at all.
Anyone?
It's a manual transmission
what will keep the car from cranking
Have you considered pulling out the starter relay?
It's quick, it's easy and it's free
Yes but I don't want to constantly have to pull it and put it back in and knowing me I will end up managing to lose it.
Then buy another and keep it hidden. Just kidding.
you can probably find a way to disable the starter control wire, using the same method as you'd do with the fuel pump.
Maybe there's a way to disable the neutral safety switch in P, so that you'll know to start the car in N and they won't.
Also hide/disable the OBDII (on VWs you can easily unplug the "interface device" harness, not sure how you'd do it on a Mazda) port as with Mazda theft is usually done via programing new keys.
It's a manual probably should have mentioned that but I guess I could find a way to disable the clutch safety switch instead of the neutral safety switch
