On another thread in the performance department, a member said his starter relay went and he bypassed it with a screwdriver to commencement it up.

Does this mean that all one has to do is use a slice of metallic to bypass the relay, and connect the voltage to the starter concluding and badda-bing - your Charger fires up?

Now, I know that the Starter relay is right there, open to the world, mounted on the fire wall behind the driver's side valve cover. And I as well know, that the Charger (at least in 1968) is a unproblematic pull on the lever to open the hood.

This had me thinking - how safe is the Charger, when I plow it in for the night. Non having access to a Garage, I was trying to brainstorm on how all-time to keep information technology safe and sound. Besides lots of prayers - does anyone accept whatsoever little anti-theft things they do to their Charger before leaving it out for the dark?

In a earth where these cars are soaring in value everyday (imagine what it will be like in 15 years) it is never to soon to think anti-theft.

How like shooting fish in a barrel is it to beginning a Charger without a primal and drive away - and is in that location something to do to make it more than difficult (ie, keeping the ignition coil cablevision aslope your keys whenever y'all park the Charger)?

As always, this board'south wisdom is very appreciated....

Well, in searching around the net, I institute this out.....

http://world wide web.americanautowire.com/products/Relay_Kits_and_Fan_Switches.cfm

UNIVERSAL RELAY KIT

� Anti-Theft Relay Kit:
Using this relay module you can disable the starter cranking excursion until an initial task associated with an existing switch is performed. A headlight switch, brake switch, or any hidden switch are simply a few examples of the possible switches that are used to activate the override relay. Attempts to starting time the vehicle without performing the initial chore can cause a horn or other detail to be activated.

It looks like this can be modified to make an extra step that but y'all would know how to kickoff your car upwardly. Information technology says "universal" with different last applications - so theoretically I should be able to modify this for the Mopar Starter Relay (that is listed right under it).

Perchance this thread belongs in Wiring and Electrical....oops again.... icon_smile_blackeye

PUT IN A Bombardment CUTOFF SWITCH IN A Hidden Surface area. MY FIRST CHARGER I MOUNTED ONE IN THE Flooring Board IN Front OF MY DRIVER'Due south SEAT. WHEN YOU PARK It, Only REACH Downwardly AND FLIP It OFF. It KILLS ALL OF THE JUICE FROM THE BATTERY.
I But NEEDED KEYS TO UNLOCK THE STEERING WHEEL. I PUT A Push button BUTTON AND A TOGGLE SWITCH Inside OF THE ASH TRAY WHERE THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER WAS. I MADE ALOT OF Luncheon Money FROM BETTING PEOPLE THAT THEY COULDN'T Outset MY Motorcar.

I'm putting my bombardment in the trunk, and have a transmission disconnect at the post -- just unscrew the greenish shutoff and have it with you.

Though I suppose anything tin can exist stolen if someone wants it, but that will be enough inconvenience/deterance for my application....

Those are all godd suggestions, I honey the switch in the cigarette lighter - that rocks. thumbs

You guys are right about if a few guys with enough know-how want the car, they'll become the automobile - simply what I want to deter is the footling guys who would be incovenienced by the Charger not starting upward right away. I dubiety, he'd intermission out his volt meter and start checking for continuity in the wiring organisation.

Yet, you don't want to be on a date and say "wait honey, I have to put this kicking on the Charger before we get in to the movie" - that won't become you very far. Shocked

its pretty simple to hot wire whatever pre colum lock mopar. not certain what year the colum locks started, but i am thinking my 69 coronet had the dash mounted switch, i may exist wrong on this..either mode a simple piece of wire with 2 alagator clips, ane to the pos mail of the batt, the 2d to the balast resistor (+ side of the scroll volition piece of work for a while). now stick a screwdriver between the big post and pocket-size post on the starter to crank it over (or spring the firewall relay) and VROOOM it starts right up. supplying ability direct to the ballast will piece of work on mopar elec ign or points systems.

     now before anyone starts thinkin im a car thief , im non merely i have had to use this flim-flam to go a couple parts cars running. these ignition systems arent rocket science, why exercise you call up they invented the colum lock.

     now before anyone starts thinkin im a car thief , im non only i accept had to utilise this trick to go a couple parts cars running. these ignition systems arent rocket scientific discipline, why do you think they invented the colum lock.

Which is why I am starting to gravitate towards the electrical system kill switch - the but hang-upwardly on that idea would be if I wanted to install a modern radio/CD thespian, the digital clock would reset every time the anti-theft device is activated.

small price for safety though

Anyway you could have a low powered nicad or lithium 12vs to keep the clock alive when not in use -- use a two way switch so when you lot are in kill mode, have them on the clock -- when live, have them recharge...

Wow - swell thought. I'd have to sort out a wiring diagram but that sounds like a skillful plan.

Even with the advent of the cavalcade lock in seventy it doesn't end anyone.If someone really wants the car they are going to take it.Some products may irksome thieves down just if the product is for auction on the market,theives already know about it and have it figured out already.Besides,they don't need the whole car anyhow,the parts are worth plenty by themselves.

Even with the advent of the column lock in lxx it doesn't stop anyone.If someone really wants the motorcar they are going to have it.Some products may ho-hum thieves down but if the product is for sale on the market,theives already know virtually it and accept it figured out already.As well,they don't need the whole machine anyhow,the parts are worth enough by themselves.

Agreed.   I'd be more worried about the car beingness but dragged off by a tow truck, or onto a flatbed.   Column lock or non, after watching those repo shows on TV, it happens awfully fast by someone who knows what they are doing.

Whatever method is better than no method...

LO-JACK*

The problem with Lo-Jack is that not every constabulary department has it.  Lo-Jack requires a lot of labor installing the system into a police auto which is the reason why most police departments do non become it even though it is free to police departments.  With the antennas beingness so sensitive for the organisation for constabulary cars and the fourth dimension that a department has a patrol motorcar for, information technology is usually not worth it to the police departments to go a lo-jack system installed into a motorcar.  My squad puts on a car, on boilerplate betwixt sixty-120 miles a shift, multiply that by 2 every bit nosotros piece of work 12 hour shifts.  The miles rack up pretty quickly.  We probably replace a patrol automobile once every two to iii years due to the mileage and the corruption they become.  Lets face it.... nigh of the fourth dimension they are idling, which is the worst thing a automobile can practise.

As stated before, if a thief wants your car bad plenty, regardless of alarm systems, clubs, wheel locks, ignition cut offs, etc, they will steal your auto if they desire it.  The only type of security organization for a car which I have seen that works is one that has a car gun popular up when the alarm is triggered, does a 360 firing off rounds, and and then resets.  Notwithstanding, that probably will never be seen by the general public due to laywers being around.icon_smile_big

Why non but make an switched electronic fuel pump? The car would start correct upward but also dice right away. Just y'all can't really practice all that much besides the lo-jack organisation to forbid crooks from putting it on a trailer.

Yup, the more you can do to prevent THE THEFT of your car the better. The LO-JACK may only help become information technology back...

Running it out of gas is a good idea for the every mean solar day wanna exist. He, (or she), will get down the street with it but as shortly as he, (or she), hits that nervous peddle the auto will nose over and get out them dry..

You know everyone notices your automobile out in traffic!!

The main trouble with plucking the coil wire off is that eventually, you lot'll wear it out & it will maybe exit you lot stranded somewhere...besides, any halfway decent thief will carry his own spare coil wire in his pocket.

The subconscious kill switch & fuel cut-off ideas are skilful, plus a Lo-Jack & I figure you've got 90% of the boilerplate thieves ideas covered. The only ones who wouldn't be outsmarted past any of that stuff would be the existent pro's...the kind that rip off Ferarri's & stuff.

The problem with Lo-Jack is that non every law department has it.  Lo-Jack requires a lot of labor installing the organization into a police auto which is the reason why most police departments practice not become information technology fifty-fifty though it is free to police force departments.  With the antennas being so sensitive for the system for police cars and the time that a department has a patrol motorcar for, it is usually not worth it to the police departments to get a lo-jack system installed into a car.

LoJack down here comes to your firm and installs the organisation in the machine while you lot're inside drinkin' beers.  I don't call back it takes that long either.    We have three Lojack cars on each shift and in each of our helos.

Doesn't the key need to be in the on position before yous can jump the relay to first information technology?Huh

I merely tried my 71 and that is the only style information technology will start that style.  If the key is in the off posistion it will but crank over.  When you turn the key to the on position and and then jump the relay it fires up!
