Thoughts - DIY immobilizer button

[Pop's Ram]

There are 4 wires going into the back of the push button switch, spliced into the red wire. Just remember to pull the fuse(f24) prior to working on it.

Think I'll give this a go as well - thanks Doc!

Another question, before I make this happen. Thinking this through, am I correct in assuming that even if the toggle switch is wired into the start/stop switch, remote start WILL still work? Of course, you would still have to flip the switch upon entry before hitting the start/stop switch in order to start moving. Just want to ensure that remote start will still work. @Doc33 - is this accurate?

Came up with my solution today and it works great, put a toggle switch in on the wiring that goes to the push button start switch. When toggle is activated there is no power to start button. Is it 100% effective....no but will definitely slow theif down and has to find toggle to get it started.

That’s simple enough good idea !if they want it thell tow it but the kill switch will stop most of the low level clowns as they don’t wanna hang around too long to get it going
Does your remote start still work with the kill switch engaged?

Not as cheap or simple as splicing in a simple toggle switch but my preferred method now a days is an IGLA system from Author Alarm.

Not cheap as I said but the fact that it blocks shifting the truck, blocks key programming and code scanning makes me worry a little less about my Ram, and my Challenger.
I dont work for the company but I use their products on two of my vehicles with great success and no issues so far.

The device has an innovative mechanism of door locking that uses standard circuit conduits of the car so there is no additional wiring that can be easily found.
