Hi all, more questions from a wiring doofus. I've appeared to have installed a kill switch in my 2000 per the instructions outlined here, but I can crank and start the car without an issue in whichever position the switch is in. One problem could just be that I picked out the wrong wire from the harness under the driver side rear seat, but I'm skeptical of that. Lots of threads talking about the green and white wire, and sure enough there's just one green/white in that bundle. Double checked that there was a matching wire going to the fuel pump connector behind the fuel tank, and its there and looks like its in the same position as in the linked instructions. Here is the wiring I did in the harness. When it didn't work, I tried grounding the switch to one of the two screws that holds the bottom of the console tray in place, same result, and judging by the instructions a ground isn't necessary there.
The switch is 25 A, inline fuse is 20 A, everything is 12 gauge wire (some is 16 in the picture, but I replaced it with 12 to no new results). Only difference is that I used 12g spade connectors all the way through instead of crimp connectors. LED on the switch never cuts on, and no interruption when its running and I disconnect it altogether. I had to use some JB weld (the glue not the epoxy) to fix some broken plastic around where I mounted the switch and some might have leaked inside it, but I figure that if anything that would only prevent the circuit from closing instead of leaving it permanently open. I guess I've missed some common sense wiring thing or I've got the wrong wire for the 12V from the pump relay. Any advice much appreciated!
