It can be done. Time delay relays are available. Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com] On Behalf Of tabe johnson Sent: Sunday, August 14, 2005 6:53 PM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: Kill Switch Delay - any electronics experts? I'd like to make something a touch more sophisticated. Here's how it would work, but I don't know how to do the circuit. Any electronics types out there who can help? You have a secret switch somewhere. Can be reed, pushbutton, on/off, whatever. Not important. Normal starting procedure would be: start car, push button. engine runs until you switch ignition off. Thief's procedure: start car, engine runs for 30 seconds, then stops. Car won't start again until secret switch is actuated. The idea is the thief hotwires the car, drives halfway down the block, onto a big street, where the engine dies, leaving the thief... embarassed... Can anyone suggest an implementation? Thanks, --tabe johnson/87 Westy
