how about using the horn button....what thief will want to blow the horn while attempting to steal a truck

turkeykiller365

wire it so if you try to start it without flipping the switch it will not start, and it will lock the thief in the truck. If you wanna get real complex, put a code keypad in there

lmao ok i love the horn idea im going to run two switches, one will be a horn button right in plain sight right in that spot were you would have a AC button and a second one someplace on the floor it will kill the fuel pump. now if anyone can show me a pic or explain exactly were i splice and add my wires that would be awesome. Oyah you don't have to show me were you put your switches or anything just what wire to splice by the way a little toggle switch like something you would use on a go kart or something will be fine right? or should i run a fuse and a better switch? thanks guys

SPDT toggle, rated 15 amps, interrupting the fuel pump this way:
- cut the wire to the fuel pump and connect the fuel pump side to one end of the switch and the other end (should be coming from the Circuit Opening Relay) to the center terminal of the switch... and connect the horn to the other end of the switch.

If the switch is set for the fuel pump to work, the truck starts. If the switch is set the other way, the horn goes off when the thief tries to crank it over or tries bump starting it and the AFM turns the COR on.

Pedal Jack Anti-Theft Device


The ultimate anti-theft device for your car.


Steering wheels can be cut to get around an anti-theft device, but your pedals are virtually unbreakable. Pedal Jack attaches to your brake pedal to give you unbeatable security. It's constructed of heavy duty, electrically heat-treated tempered steel so it's saw-proof and cannot be fractured by freon gas. The patented locking system's tempered steel plate makes it drill-proof. And the highly-visible yellow handle deters thieves from even attempting to steal your vehicle. Pedal Jack is fully adjustable to fit virtually all automatic trasmission-equipped cars, SUVs, vans and light trucks.

91_TOYOTA_4x4

ibeamtaco

fuel pump wire is black and white wire on drivers side under carpet at molding

Don't give me credit.
I'll only run up my limit.

ok you mean to the left of the seat under that plastic molding at the door jam? i have no carpet in my truck so it will be easy to find then? thanks

You can verify that by following the wire up to the COR above the ECU.

haha abe ok it was all my idea

ibeamtaco

91_TOYOTA_4x4

Canada B.C.? That's early- Canada Before Christ even, like whatever.

of corse i am mostly joking but this could work, get a long whisker switch (metal)and wire it to the horn, rest the whisker portion on the cat, and solid mount the switch housing to the frame out of site and when the converter is lowered down, the horn honks. i realize by this point the converter is all ready stolen but at least the thief will poo himself and maybe hit his head trying to escape. LOL!

91_TOYOTA_4x4

alright i have a switch im getting there
