How can make my 86 Bonneville theft-resistant?
Is there a quick 'n dirty way to temporarily disable an 1986 pontiac Bonneville so it can't be stolen as quickly? I've seen somebody start one without a key once, all it takes is a screwdriver and a willingness to do some damage to the steering column, and maybe 25 seconds (including popping the door lock without smashing the window).
I don't have theft insurance because the deductible is more than I paid for the ol' war-horse --- so if it goes, it's gone for good, and I want to avoid that. I've got "The Club", and I'm sure there are car thieves who are deterred by it, but I'm thinking maybe if I could pop a fuse out, or put a switch on a wire somewhere, it would be an additional layer-of-defense. I know this can easily be defeated but there are lots of thieves who will try to steal a car and if it doesn't go exactly as planned, really quickly, they'll just go look for another car that DOES'NT have a club or a cut-off switch --- it's virtually impossible to make a car theft-proof, but you CAN make it theft-resistant enough so that most thieves will find an easier target. I know about removing the distributor cap, but that's too much of a hassle to undo every time you want to drive somewhere. The situation is complicated by the fact that I have to park it where I can't see it from inside my suite. |

Break into the fuel pump fuse wires and put a hidden toggle somewhere.

Auto_Trainee --- "Neutral Safety Switch" --- sounds like a switch that stops the car from being started unless it's in park or neutral (just a guess). I looked in the manual and there's nothing under "Neutral", and nothing under, "Safety ...". How would you use it to act as a disabler?
