So I want to install a switch hidden under the dash to stop the engine starting.
Having done a search, the black/purple wire going to the tachometer seemed a likely candidate to break the circuit. However, when I disconnected it from the tach, the car would still start! Which wire should I use? The engine is a 1973 2.0 four cylinder with fuel injection. |

When I bought my 1970 the yellow switch was a bit of a mystery. The car has factory fog lights. This was thought to be a rear fog light switch possibly but no sign of that in the rear.
Turns out after talking to the original owner this was his anti theft switch hidden in plain sight. He did it in the 70's but was disconnected much later when the engine was rebuilt. He figured it looked stock. You had to pull the switch to start the car. ![]() |
