Need to prevent car from starting

I have an adventurous teenager and need to figure out a simple way to prevent my accent from being started. Is there a fuse/relay that could be pulled to prevent my 05 Accent from starting?

Think if you disconnect the crank angle sensor fuel and ignition will be cutoff.

lol is your teenager really that adventurous that you have to keep the car from even starting? lock it in the garage or something. haha unless the kid is like David Blaine, "the club" would work just fine. IMO

A simple switch on the ECU fuse or even just remove the ECU fuse, that'll also prevent the car from starting.

You can also play good trick on your kid . Find the fuse box and run a short jumper wire from the brake light fuse to the horn fuse. If he does take it ,the horn will go off every time he steps on the brake and stay on till the brake is released , should get the cops attention.

Well, if you have a teenager that is THAT rebelious and has the need to take off with the car, even after not being authorized, then maybe you just need a 2x6 to his ass. I don't know why it is that people are afraid of discipline.:banghead:

If you have a problem with a fox in the henhouse, what do you do, get rid of the chickens?
