Fitting StopMyEngine

StopMyEngine is a simple 5-wire system. If you're installing it yourself, you'll need a solid understanding of your vehicle's electronics.

We do not provide exact fitting instructions because StopMyEngine can be installed in multiple locations within your vehicle. Standardizing the installation process could make it easier for determined thieves to bypass the system.

However, we will suggest the most efficient installation point. Keep in mind that if you are familiar with your vehicle, you may have other suitable options.

How to Install StopMyEngine: Easy & Secure Anti-Theft Protection

For Diesel Vehicles (Fuel Pump Installation)

1. Preparation

  • Tools required: Multimeter, wire strippers, crimping tool, insulated connectors, electrical tape, heat shrink tubing, and a screwdriver.

  • Ensure the vehicle is turned off, keys removed, and the battery disconnected for safety.

2. Locate the Fuel Pump Wiring

  • Identify the fuel pump wiring in the vehicle, usually found near the fuel tank or under the vehicle’s rear seat.

3. Test the Fuel Pump Circuit

  • Use a multimeter to find the positive wire (supplying power to the fuel pump) and the negative wire (ground connection).

4. Wire the StopMyEngine Device

  • Blue Wire (Interruption Signal):

    • Cut the positive wire leading to the fuel pump.

    • Connect the blue wire from StopMyEngine to the side of the positive wire going to the fuel pump.

  • Green Wire (Power Supply):

    • Connect the green wire to the other side of the cut positive wire that leads to the vehicle’s power supply.

Note: The blue and green wires from StopMyEngine can be connected to any main feed that will cut the engine (fuel pump, ECU, etc.). This flexibility allows for various installation options depending on the vehicle type.

5. Connect the White Wire (Horn Tab)

  • Locate the horn+ tab on your vehicle’s fuse box or wiring harness.

  • Connect the white wire from StopMyEngine to the horn+ tab to act as a signal for activation.

6. Connect the Pink Wire (12V Ignition Feed)

  • Important: Use the 12V ignition feed, NOT a permanent live feed.

  • The pink wire should be connected to the 12V ignition feed, which provides power when the ignition is turned on (check the vehicle’s fuse box or wiring diagram for this).

7. Connect the Black Wire (Ground/Earth)

  • Connect the black wire from StopMyEngine to a solid ground point on the vehicle chassis (typically a bolt or metal part of the frame).

8. Secure the Wiring

  • Use zip ties to bundle the wires neatly and secure them to prevent movement or damage.

  • Insulate the connections using electrical tape or heat shrink tubing.

9. Test the System

  • Reconnect the vehicle’s battery.

  • Turn the ignition on and test the StopMyEngine device to ensure it correctly interrupts the fuel pump as needed.

For Older Diesel Cars with Solenoid

1. Locate the Solenoid Wiring

  • Older diesel vehicles may use a solenoid to control fuel flow to the engine.

  • The solenoid is typically located near the fuel injection pump.

2. Install StopMyEngine

  • Blue Wire (Interruption Signal):

    • Cut the power wire supplying the solenoid.

    • Connect the blue wire to the side of the solenoid power wire going to the solenoid.

  • Green Wire (Power Supply):

    • Connect the green wire to the other side of the cut wire, which should be the vehicle’s power supply.

Note: As with the fuel pump, the blue and green wires can be connected to any main feed that will cut the engine.

3. Follow the Same Procedure as Above

  • Use the white wire for the horn tab, the pink wire for the 12V ignition feed, and the black wire for ground connection.

  • Test and secure the wiring as outlined above.

For Petrol Vehicles (Coil Installation)

1. Locate the Ignition Coil Wiring

  • Identify the ignition coils in your vehicle, usually found near the top of the engine.

  • Use a multimeter to locate the positive wire (supplying power to the coils).

2. Install StopMyEngine

  • Blue Wire (Interruption Signal):

    • Cut the positive coil wire leading to the ignition coils.

    • Attach the blue wire from StopMyEngine to the side going to the coils.

  • Green Wire (Power Supply):

    • Connect the green wire to the other side of the cut wire (the vehicle’s positive power supply).

Note: The blue and green wires can be connected to any main feed that will cut the engine (ignition coils, fuel pump, etc.).

3. Follow the Same Wiring Instructions for the White, Pink, and Black Wires

  • The white wire goes to the horn+ tab, pink wire to the 12V ignition feed, and the black wire to a ground point.

For Motorbikes and Quadbikes (Kill Switch Installation)

1. Locate the Kill Switch Wiring

  • The kill switch wiring is usually located in the main harness near the handlebars or engine.

2. Connect the StopMyEngine Device

  • Blue Wire (Interruption Signal):

    • Cut the kill switch wire.

    • Attach the blue wire from StopMyEngine to the side going to the engine.

  • Green Wire (Power Supply):

    • Connect the green wire to the power supply side of the kill switch wire.

Note: The blue and green wires can be connected to any main feed that will cut the engine.

3. Follow the Same Wiring Instructions for the White, Pink, and Black Wires

  • White wire to the horn+ tab, pink wire to the 12V ignition feed, and black wire to ground.

Final Steps for All Installations

  1. Test the System

    • Start the vehicle or bike to verify the StopMyEngine device interrupts fuel or ignition properly.

  2. Secure the Wiring

    • Use zip ties and electrical tape to secure and insulate the wiring connections.

  3. Reassemble Components

    • Reattach any panels or covers that were removed during the installation.
