Exclamation Attempted Steal..Need Help

Some one tried to steal my wifes Gen3 truck (its a gas truck) I know boo boo boo, but we didnt need 2 diesels in the family right now. What I need to know from you gen3 guys is, is it possible to open the power distribution center to rewire the the starter relay. I have made a starter kill system up with a momentary contact switch and a couple of relays. I need to to take the fuse and relay part of the distribution center out so that I tap into a spare relay hole. Is this possible? If not what is the point of have blank relay spaces if I cannot gain access to them? Any Ideas?

Thank You!!!!

Easier, is to put a micro switch on the fuel pump line. No fuel no start!

Worked great on my 98 gasser!

Even easier, if it's a manual add a switch in series with the clutch safety switch.
If it's an auto add a switch where the jumper wire that bypasses the missing switch is located.

Be Aware! - This trans / brake interface doesn't apply to the 1996 gasser I've got. You can pull it out of park (auto) without the service brake.

But the idea is sure good.. Seen a ford van locked up and couldn't move because the tail light fuse blow out...
