Default Installing a mini KILL SWITCH ; what should i interrupt ?

On my 2006 , id like to install a Kill Switch in the Cab and am looking for a relatively easy way to prevent starting the car. Any ideas on what i should tie into specifically based on the layout of the C6 electrical ? Thanks.

The usual approach is to cut the fuel pump.

Find the fuel pump fuse, remove it, connect the two sides of your kill switch into the now vacant two sides of where the fuse was and install an inline fuse holder in the kill switch wiring and install the fuse into the remote fuse holder and you should be good to go....or not go...depending on the switch!

REPLY: While i appreciate your input, im afraid that for a Perpetrator Thief it would be very easy for him to spot this on the fuse panel . My main thrust behind doing this is so the person wouldnt be able to ascertain how to get the car going due to my Kill Switch wiring modification . Now...if i can find the wire BEHIND the fuse panel that is for the Fuel Pump (or the Fuel Pumps relay) .. then it would be a totally concealed job. Ill have to explore the difficulty in gaining access behind the Fuse Panel unless you know (??).
