    Hi! I'm trying to install an anti-theft kill switch by adding a switch to the wire that connects to the fuel pump relay, a procedure I have done before on my older '04 Honda Civic. (With the kill switch off, the car won't start as the fuel pump won't work)

    1. Does this procedure still work for a hybrid car like the 3rd gen Prius?
    2. I can't seem to find the fuel pump relay in a 3rd gen Prius online. Which relay/fuse do I use to create such a kill switch?
    3. What other theft prevention DIYs do you suggest? :)

    Thanks! Sam D.

    There will be enough ev power to drive it on a trailer.
