Thinking out loud, I had the idea of using one of the Fridge movement sensor switches between the onboard battery & the electric brakes with a disarm switch via a fuse.
I like the idea, because while sitting there motionless it's not drawing any power from the battery & as soon as the van starts to move the sensor operates & sends 12V to the brakes locking them on slowing the thieves down by skull dragging the van across the lawn & down the road or onto the flatbed as a mates new van did.
The brake wire won't be cut & simply tapped onto & I don't see it upsetting the Alko ESC as it wouldn't be any different to switching the ESC off on rough roads & applying the brakes.
How sensitive are the switches will it operate if the van is simply blown around by the wind on a windy night or simply walking in the van while at home.
Is there any problems with this idea I haven't thought of.
