I wouldn’t recommend just tapping into a fuse slot - if the thieves in your area have been somehow bypassing the pass lock system, a couple of wires running out of the fuse box would be pretty easy to remove and the fuse terminals jumped to get it started.

The fuel pump is powered by a gray wire - I’d tap into the harness running along the frame rail and fish the wires for the switch into the cab. They’ll be much less exposed and harder to spot and you could hide the switch from view.

 

my 2005 van was stolen a couple weeks ago,
they used some kind of key to start it and disable the steering lock,

VTD did not save it , but I had a tracker in it and that found its location about a mile away .

another exciting afternoon !

 

What about using or/and
It would force a thieft to make some noise if the van sit in the driveway overnight.
My guess is when they see such devices they wont bother.

 

thanks for your suggestions , I have a big chain locked from seat bracket around the steering wheel, with a big lock.
a Club would help too.

I also have a wheel lock that I use on my car trailer, as it sits most of the time. It would be a hassle to install/remove many times a day.

Anyway please keep the ideas coming for all of us !
