Your Ram 1500 is on the shopping list — theirs, not yours. Thieves want the Hemi and the 4WD, and they carry tools that make your factory fob irrelevant. The 41.22 kill switch pulls your factory starter relay and drops in its place, so the engine stays dead until you arm it back. Here's how it works on a Ram.

## Why Ram 1500s get targeted
Every modern Ram theft ends the same way: a thief in your driver's seat, pressing start. They get there with fob cloners, relay amplifiers, and laptops running dealer key-programming software — not coat hangers. None of it forces a lock; it all defeats your key. A Houston crew once drove off with more than 100 Jeep and Ram vehicles using a laptop and pirated key codes.
A kill switch doesn't stop a stolen tailgate — but it does stop the part that drives away.

**By the numbers:** 5x — Ram 1500 crew-cab 4WD whole-vehicle theft claims vs. the average vehicle · $65,455 — average full-size pickup theft claim (HLDI) · 0 — wires cut — our module drops in at the relay

## Pop the relay, drop ours in, the starter stays dead
Armed, the starter never engages. A cloned fob is worthless, a relay attack just lights up the dash, and an OBD programmer pairs a perfect new key to a truck that won't crank. No soldering, no cut wires, and it pops back to stock in minutes.

- **Wired Pushbutton ($108):** A hidden pushbutton you mount somewhere only you know. No batteries, ever.
- **Wireless Remote ($179):** Two keychain remotes, the easiest install we make. Disarm from indoors; works with remote start.

## Watch the drop-in install, start to finish
Pull the factory starter relay, plug the 41.22 module into the empty socket, mount your switch where only you can reach it, and arm it. The Wireless Remote is our Level 1 (easiest) install; the Wired Pushbutton is a patient afternoon with hand tools. Reverse it any time and you're back to stock.

## Is a kill switch the best anti-theft for a RAM 1500?
Alarms get ignored. GPS trackers tell you where your truck went — not how to keep it. A kill switch is the only layer that stops the truck from moving in the first place, and it stacks fine with whatever you already run. It's the cheapest "no" you can give a thief.

## Ram 1500 kill switch FAQ

**Can a thief with a cloned key fob still start my Ram?**

Not while it's armed. A cloned or reprogrammed fob will unlock the doors and power the dash, but the starter circuit stays open — the engine never cranks. The clone gets them into a truck that won't move.

**Does a kill switch stop a relay attack?**

Yes, at the step that matters. A relay attack tricks the truck into thinking your fob is present — documented on keyless Rams like the TRX. With the 41.22 starter relay bypassed, push-to-start does nothing until you disarm it.

**Does installing it void my Ram warranty?**

It shouldn't. Nothing is cut or spliced — the module drops into the existing relay socket, so there's no permanent modification to point at. And if you ever need to, you can return the truck to full OEM stock in just a few minutes by swapping the factory relay back in.

**How hard is it to install on a Ram 1500?**

The Wireless Remote ($179) is our easiest install — Level 1 of 5: drop in the relay, connect +12V and ground at the battery. The Wired Pushbutton ($108) is Level 2–3 because you route the switch wire through the firewall. Both kill the same circuit.

**Is my Ram 100% theft-proof with this installed?**

No product makes a vehicle theft-proof — a determined crew with a flatbed can take anything. What it stops is the fast, quiet, drive-it-away theft the claims data is made of: fob clones, relay attacks, OBD programmers. Yours stops being the easy target.
