How do I turn off the engine by interrupting some ignition switch wire in the RAM 2500 08 using relay? It's possible?

There are two ignition wires coming off of the ignition switch. You will have to interrupt them both with relays, possibly by wiring them up to the normally closed terminals, so that activating the relays will open the ignition circuits and shut the truck off. You have to pay attention to amperage draws while doing this though.

Ignition 1 should be pink/white and ignition 2 should be pink/green.
