    ( for example , one under the hood and one in your trunk )

  • @HR-wd6cw
    @HR-wd6cw Před 2 lety +5

    Either fuel injection relay or the fuel pump relay will work. Just something that's not a fuse that anyone could carry around. When I park at the airport now, I pull the fuel pump relay. That way the pump doesn't work (although I do park in an enclosed parking garage with 24x7 security guards driving around but it's an extra step to ensure the car can't really be stolen that easily.) NOW the key is to NOT lose the relay while you're gone, because if you do, and you don't realize it until you get back you're going to have to get one, which is far better than having your car stolen, but still a headache. I had a friend who did this trick once, and lost the relay during a trip and I had to give him a ride to an auto parts store to buy another one so he could drive his car home from the airport....
    Personally, I think removing at least the relay is a better alternative to a kill switch as Scotty says. And even if they manage to reprogram the car, they will still have to get a relay / breaker to activate the fuel pump, and by that time (if you park in an area where there are other people, they will be noticed. In fact I got stopped one time at the airport because I was putting the relay back in my car and the on-site police officer asked to see the car registration and my license.
