Mine, specifically, was a combination of internet research and applied knowledge of electrical engineering. It was a Dodge Neon (1st gen). I can do a write up for it, specifically, but each car has slightly different ways to do it.

Basically, when the key is off, it tells the computer to stop grounding the relay that keeps spark and fuel going to the engine, turning it off. I cut that wire and "extended" it into my cab, to a switch that always sends the signal, and back. This kept the ground going, just like stock, but when I push and hold the button, it clicks the relay off, turning power off to fuel injectors and spark coil pack, just like the ECU would do with the key off.
