    Washington DC Area
    Vehicle:
    2000 Black 4Runner SR5
    Repairs: Front upper and lower ball joints @ 198k Ignition switch and assembly @200k (following attempted theft) Valve cover gaskets @ 202k Timing belt @202k Custom work: Sleeping platform/storage system 2-way VHF/UHF radio Coming up: Replace rack and bushings Replace sway bar and linkages/bushings Frame treatment Front and rear bumper replacement (offroad) Solar/second battery
    So after the headache of the attempted theft of Ramona, I have decided to install a kill switch (as well as a decoy or two) and a couple other theft-prevention measures.

    So first: which is the better line to kill: starter or fuel pump?

    Second: I am having a hell.of a.time with the wiring diagrams in my Haynes manual. Anyone want to give me a crash course on where to find the lines?

    I already have all the parts and I know where I'll be hiding my switch. I am just a bit lost on where to splice in and which line.

    Thanks!
