How do you test the kill switch relay. It's was working before, when the alarm goes off I wasn't able to start my car. Now with the alarm going off I'm able to start my car. Is it possiable that the switch went bad!!!!:errr:

If anybody has any idea please let me know.

Well, if it was working before and now its not, yeah, I'd say it went bad.  It's very possible for a switch or relay to go bad.  It is probably just stuck in the normally closed position, therefore you can start that car all the time no matter what.  Try replacing relay.

I think kill relay switch are normally open but closed when arm is armed breaking the circuit from the key to the starter .. so I would look at that "grounded when arm" wire and make sure it didn't break off  from the relay switch .. maybe t-tap came lose or something ..

I had relay switch gone "bad" but it still very rare for that to happens so check that "grounded when armed" wire first before replacing the relay switch ..
