If its a serious vehicle that you plan on keeping for a long time, a killswitch would be a good investment. No one would know how to start it except you.

My old mustang had a killswitch where you would have to hold the "Window Up" switch while turning the key to get it to start.

If its just a beater, disconnect the battery, and just reconnect it when you go to drive it.

Either way, you could just not give her the keys? its not that hard

 

Okay, I'll stop joking around, now.
Get a battery disconnect (summit racing has them) and mount it under the dash... It's like a key, but for your battery.
I looked online and I couldn't find one with a removable portion like a key... But I know they used to have them, so I'm sure you can find one somewhere.

This .....

 

I would wire in a toggle switch to the ignition and hide it. You could wire it to the small green wire on the starter and hide the switch in the clove box or under the dash so she can't find it. I had a similar set up on my 76 firebird and it worked like a charm. it would be cheap to do maybe $15 for the switch, wire and connectors.

 

If you live with Mom, do nothing if she can legally drive it!
Otherwise.a kill switch or battery disconnect.

 

question about the kill switch on the ignition wire. Would the battery still send power, thus killing the battery or does this stop the battery? I dont have any people like this but I love the idea.

 

Tazer, your mom, not the Jeep.

 

If its in your name, report it stolen next time.

 

So, you want to run battery cable from the battery inside the cab and under the dash, and then back out again?

And you are going to protect that long run against shorting, how?

And what gauge wire do you suggest for this interesting project?

 

And from what I've read, every time you disconnect the battery you reset the computer. (Reset radio and clock)

 

Looks like I'm not the only one that thought occurred to.


CAT6, duh. Spare no expense!

 

Get the Gig wire. It's faster.

 

Do what we did to our trail rig. Wire the starter to a momentary switch (like the rear wiper) and the ignition wire to something you never use, like the tranny switch or somethin.

 

Got that backwards, starter to the tranny momentary switch and ignition to the fog light switch
