Wiring a three way switch to the horn is an idea that I have never heard before!

Instead of a horn, wire it to a blasting cap imbedded in C-4.

That's a cool idea, so that way. The horn is always ringing when they're trying to crank it.

Thank You sir. Just did mine in less than an hour. Any obstacles we can throw at them thief's to slow them down or make it harder for them to steal the vehicles is better than none. Wish I've seen this video years ago where I had my company van stolen with $10,000 worth of tools and equipment in it. They even took the battery.

The very best simple Kill switch explanation I have seen yet, and I have used it in exactly the same way as you have described.<br>The only down side for me with this setup is that my vehicle is a manual so even with the switch in the off-kill position it can be clutch started. But "hey" it's usually only going to be some lame kid car thief who wouldn't be bothered trying to clutch it & hopefully they will leave it. Better than having nothing though.

I used a button in my car that already exists in the car, that way everything looks original, I put it with a relay in combination with the key, and it has worked for me for years
