How does a Honda fuel pump kill switch work?

Carefully uncover the wiring bundle to reveal a black and yellow striped wire, and ignore the other two wires. The 12-volt wire allows the ignition to fire up the fuel pump. Cut the wire, and strip the insulation off of both ends. These wires will be soldered to the male and female connectors. Figure 2. Cut the black and yellow 12-volt wire.

How do you install a Kill Switch on a Honda?

Cut the black and yellow 12-volt wire. If you are unsure which is the correct wire, you can use a voltmeter to find the 12-volt wire. You will need to reconnect the battery to do so. Strip two ends of a new wire. M ake sure it’s long enough to extend from the fuel pump to where you will install the kill switch.

How do you wire an ignition kill switch?

By using a wiring diagram for your car, you should be able to find which wire is your ignition cable and determine the proper one to cut into. Once the wire is cut, you can either solder the 2 ends of the wire into the switch, or use additional connectors and crimp it on (no soldering required). Below is an ignition kill switch wiring diagram:
