Also have some that kill the fuel pump, some to kill the starter, some kill the ignition, some the ECU. Then if the thief is going to just bypass everything he'd have to do several circuits. Disabling the headlights would make it harder to drive away at night. Also killing some non-vital stuff like the brake lights would increase the chances of your stolen car getting pulled over. That's a time when you do want the cops to harass your car.

You can also remove small vital parts like the fuses, main relay, spark plug wires, etc. and take them with you to make the car harder to get started and drive away.
yea i didn't think about them bypassing it. multiple switches in different locations would work. maybe if you left only one of the switches on, they'd be hella confused. lol. they wouldn't expect it to be already on and they'd flip it to the off position without knowing. lol

yea that's what i meant

lol, yea i know, i just thought it might be a good idea for someone who wants to keep their car from being stolen for a cheap price with added protection than just a single switch.
