Don't know how exactly....but I had a mechanic hook one up for me on a previous vehicle, and it only cost 50$....the switch killed the fuel pump and injectors, so it would crank and crank but would never turn over... I had it wired that way because it's less obvious that you have a kill switch...there are several different ways you can wire them up... and it actually saved my car from being stolen in the end.... got my window and steering collar busted up, but they couldn't get away with the car.... after that I installed a quick release Grant steering wheel like race car drivers use... to deter them from breaking my window again... now a days though, I just use a club type thing... unless you got something they really wanna steal bad, usually a simple theft deterrent will do the trick, because they will just move on to the next car.

Sounds like the CPS! Just use the wires for that

i like the idea of using the nss wires, that way they can't just keep cranking and burning out the starter.
