Q: Where Is the Kill Switch Typically Located?
A: In most vehicles, the kill switch can be found behind the glove box or under the hood, sitting right under the fuse box. Other common locations also include near the fuel pump or around the battery.
The kill switch is essentially a small device that prevents the engine from starting by altering the electrical circuit that flows through the ignition system. When the kill switch is engaged, you won’t be able to start the engine at all.
There are various types of kill switches, including fuel line shutoff valves, car battery disconnect switches, remote control car battery switches, fuse box kill switches, and ignition wire kill switches.
Tips on Accessing the Kill Switch
If you had your kill switch installed at the dealership, your best bet at finding it is by asking the one who installed it.
Accessing the kill switch doesn’t really entail any safety precautions like disconnecting the battery, so switching it on or off is a pretty straightforward procedure.
