    hey, ill try to keep this short. Installed a kill switch on my 2007 v6 and car won't start now. No blown fuses that I have seen, battwry still works and lights and stuff turn on. I have tested the volts on my fuel pump relay and it seems like none of the holes are getting any power on any key position. Is there a fuel pump kill switcj or inertia button somewhere that I need to push?

    I’d inspect what ever it was you did for the kill switch.
    How did you wire the kill switch?
    There is no inertia switch button.

    Also i don't hear any noise when putting key into start. I did originally when testing it with the fuel pump wire cut but it stopped eventually

    I went in under the steering wheel and cut the green and black wire. I tried reconnecting just them back together and the problem still is there which makes me think my car shut off its fuel system all together as if it was my wiring it probably should turned on

    See if you can narrow down the problem by removing the kill switch you installed

    I did, I connected the original cut wire with a butt connector but there was still no luck. I also didn't record any volts on the wire no matter what position the key was in

    You cut wire to the EFI relay?
    The wire that activates the relay?
    Have you checked the EFI fuses.
    Do you have power to the C/Open Relay?

    Having trouble posting a pic of the wire, but I got the info from another post on here. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/kill-switch-mod-write-up.88252/ this is it. The power has completely stopped to the wire though even when it is connected back to the original

    I think maybe he cut the st2 wire, it’s the only G/B I see.
    Which is indeed powered by that fuse.

    Good call man.

    You could. Or, I’m pretty sure the Drivers PW fuse in the under dash fuse box is the same.

    There’s something wrong with the switch you’re using that is shorting to ground.
