Hi all. live in an apartment, therefore its parked in the open at nights. There was a holden stolen from the carpark yesterday in broad daylight..... so its made me extra cautious about my baby!

i have a mongoose alarm in my car, and a steering bar thingy. plus i unplug the coil loom every night.. i want to disable more circuitory.. eg starter, fuel pump..

if i unplugged the CAS, would the motor start at all??

i want to disable the fuel pump and starter too.. how can i do that??? sorry im just really paranoid since my cars the "most eye catching" in our apartment....

any help woudl be much appreciated. :P thanks

look into getting a kill switch installed...

got one done for the fuel pump, simple on/off switch hidden away where the diagnositic plug is kept, just under the steering wheel to the right...

pretty sure most auto electricians can do it...

another way to piss any thieves off :P

there are already two topics on this in this section of the forum...

perhaps those may help... or if ur a bit clever and patient, design and build ur own...

Just add a little twist to the " Kill Switch" idea. Use a reed switch.Mount it anywhere behind plastic ( dash, etc.,), where it can't be reached by hand. You know where it is, and you switch it with a magnet from the outside. You can, with 2 or 3 relays make it so the magnet only needs to 'close the switch to start with. then it is OK until engine switched off. So the car is auto disabled as soon as it is switched off. You can kill ignition, fuel, whatever you want ( or boyh together]. Depending how neat you do the wiring, so it's not physically obvious, it'll take an Auto/lec all day to find it.

Get reed switches from security installers - used on building alarm systems. Or electrical wholesalers.

or perhaps get some from work :P

that is actually a really good idea... now im thinking... u could also use a coded magnet... unless u have the specific magnet and sensor, uve got no chance in starting the car... we use them all the time at work in our machines...

Yes, that's good. Glad I did'nt know about it. That way I did the circuit myself ( without the kill switch) I like mine better.

I'll dig out my circuit and try to post it. Love the 'coded magnet' idea of the previous post, BUT don't lose it!!

No, can't do it. Am better at wiring diags than computers. Scanned it into computer, but can't get it from there to here. Sorry.

once its scanned, save it as a jpg file or something... when u post again, look down and right and ull c a "Browse..." button. click on that and find the file u saved. click ok. click the green "UPLOAD" button and wait... thats it...

yeh "kill switch" is kind of a wrong name... should be something more like "start switch" or something...

Thanks, I tried. Tried all sorts of places to scan it into, but got " X Upload failed. You are not permitted to upload this type of file." Had a good look at it ( even upside down) STILL did'nt look pornographic even from that angle. Guess everyone will just have to use their imagination. Pity.

"type of file" refers to the "filename.***" the *** part is the file type. jpg, doc, txt, mpg are file types... probably the most common image file is jpg. when u scan the file, save the file as "image.jpg" if u can...

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
