Kill switch options? Going to be installing an anti-theft kill switch.
I purchased a 20A on/off toggle switch, 16ga wire, and an inconspicuous "12v LED". What I want to do is use the switch to enable/disable something (ideas? I'm thinking fuel pump - anything else I should consider maybe something transmission related?) and when it is enabled (as if no kill switch), the LED remains lit. When disabled, the LED is off (this lets me know when it is working and when it is not). How would I go about wiring it (electrical, not location) and what are some possible devices that I can apply this setup to? I'm leaning towards something to do with the fuel pump, but I'm open to ideas...
Edit: would it be easier/better to do it so that the LED is ON when say the fuel pump is not receiving power?

You know what I did was remove my console and tied it into my neutral safety switch. I interrupted the ground circuit with my toggle switch. No LED, but just my preference. Ran the switch somewhere only a couple folks know. The way the ECM sees it is if there's no reading from the switch (no ground), it sends no signal to the starter.
Yea it's a poor man's anti-theft but it works like a charm.

i would wire it to the starter. at least if you accidentally hit the killswitch it wont shut the car off if you had it wired to the fuel pump. what are possible locations on a t/a, ive been wondering....
