Jeep Compass 2 Kill Switch Harness Only

This harness is for adding a 2 kill switch solution to your vehicle. It comes with no switches and bare lead harness ends ready for you to add your own ends or solder your own switch in. However you are planning your install!

Adding ends w/heat shrink is available with 4.8mm and 6.3mm size blade connector ends available.

20mm toggle switches are also available to add to this bare harness in both 4.8mm posts (to match adding on the blade connectors above) or with pre-soldered leads already on the 20mm toggle switch for those who want to solder their harness directly to the switch. So many options!

If you’re interested in a ready to go kit you might want to go that route so the only thing you really need to do is figure out where you are going to hide your kill switch! Check out our other offerings for a kit option!

What is the wiring pattern option?
Standard: Wired exactly to OEM wiring harness, so the connectors wiring matches your OEM harness connector for a quick installation.

Custom: A specific alteration is made to the female connector that you unplugged from the back of the push to start button switch on your dash during installation of the harness. Instructions come with your order that describes how to do this BEFORE you plug in this harness. An additional connector and black harness style cloth tape is also included if needed so you won’t be stranded if the original connector becomes deformed or has other issues as you re-assign pins within it, as per the instructions included with your order. And to be clear, there are more than just one method of customizing this alteration that we send out – just in case! But your instructions included with your order will match it’s physical wiring layout so that you know how to re-pin your vehicle side connector to match your custom harness!

Reason for the extra step: If by some chance a thief finds your harness and attempts to put the wiring back to OEM (by removing your kill switch harness and putting back to original configuration) the original wiring in the harness going to the connector will no longer match the pins on the back of the push to start switch, so your vehicle still has another layer of frustration for the would be thief! Thus wasting even MORE time for them! Remember, time is what a thief does NOT want to spend because of the increase chances of getting caught!

Don’t forget! Adding a kill switch to the push to start switch is only one of several things you should do in order to safeguard you car and keep it where you left it! Vehicle security is like layers of an onion. One layer for most won’t keep your vehicle safe, especially if you have a newer more popular vehicle that is currently being targeted!

Other areas to consider are:
– Steering wheel lock, brake and/or clutch pedal lock.
– Keeping your keys in a faraday bag/pouch/box to keep thieves from relaying your FOB signal, and don’t keep them on the same side of the house as your vehicle. Especially if they can see them through your window. Further away from you vehicle is best when you’re not driving.
– Where you park when at home and away. Have a plan for both and don’t make it easy for a thief to get away with your vehicle.
– More than one kill switch approach. Combo switches linked together so that only you know the correct up/down sequence to start your vehicle.
– Installing a GPS tracking solution so you know at all times where your vehicle is. Air tags and other similar vendor solutions may also need to be added – though keeping these secret is getting harder as time goes on.
– After market alarm/anti-theft system. Doesn’t mean they won’t just come with a tow truck or flat bed truck but every additional layer helps.
– Fake or relocated and perhaps locked up OBD2 port, so thieves can’t connect and add another key FOB to your vehicle.

You alone are the one to decide on what risk you are facing and what steps you need to keep your vehicle secure. Whatever combined solution you come up with that you believe is adequate enough to keep your vehicle where you left it, be vigilant as thieves are always trying new ways to steal your vehicle!
