Shut off switch under dash of 2001?
A lady stopped me in the parking lot of the local supermarket and asked if my PT Cruiser had a "Shut-off switch under the dashboard". She felt around under the steering wheel of my 2003, but couldn't find it. She said that her 2001 had to be towed to the garage because that switch had been accidentally flipped. Does anybody know what she was describing?? Thanks

Sounds like she bought a used PT and the previous owner had installed (or had it installed) a cut off switch so if someone tried to steal it, they couldn't start it. It doesn't come from the factory that way.

Aftermarket alarm, possibly. It didnt come stock, so she could be talking about anything. I believe she was refering to the Valet switch on an alarm system, though.

Agree w/Crewzin & Espresso. Hers must've been used and modified by prior owner.
Or, she might just be crazy...[:0]

 Her being crazy did occur to me;[:I] but since I advised her to post here in this group about it, she might read this, so an aftermarket mod sounds right.[8]I had to feel sorry for her, because having to pay for a tow[xx(], and a mechanic[xx(], and be late to work[xx(], just to flip a switch[:X] is an expensive discovery! Thanks.[?]

That is why you dont buy a used car without knowing EVERYTHING about it first. If you cant get under the dash to look at wiring & such, bring someone who can. The dash wiring( any for that matter) when in the wrong hands, is just......bad.

She might be talking about the Fuel Pump cut-off switch. This is there in case of accident and the fuel line was severed. This will turn off the fuel pump preventing fuel from spraying.
That would be the only "Cut-off" switch.

Not exactly sure where, I will look tonight and let you know, but usually they are behind the plastic kick panel on the drivers side (near the left foot rest)
I'll know for sure tomorrow and post it.
