  • Patent number: 5408211
    Abstract: A vehicle disabling system for connecting to a vehicle ignition system to disable the associated vehicle after a pre-determined length of time following an actuation of the system by a user. The device includes a disabling circuit which may be installed in series with the ignition system of the vehicle. The circuit includes a panic switch operable to actuate a timer and, after a pre-determined length of time has elapsed, subsequently actuate a relay. The relay is operable to then close a switch which results in a current surge through a fuse, thereby blowing the fuse and interrupting a supply of power to the vehicle ignition system. An alternate embodiment of the present invention includes a key-contained fuse holder for containing the fuse within the ignition key of the vehicle.
