Starter kill doesn't work:

Is the correct wire being interrupted? If the car starts when the starter kill relay is completely

disconnected, the wrong starter wire has been cut and interrupted.

this, turn the ignition key on and off to clear the NPC™'s memory, and then retest the shock

sensor. For a detailed description of NPC™, see Nuisance Prevention Circuitry section of this
