Default Re: Clutch pedal position switch

Would you mind if I told you that you are adding a device that will make servicing of the car in an "no crank" scenario very difficult? And given that you don't want the car cranking without someone already sitting in the driver's seat and pressing the pedal - I am having a very hard time understanding the point here.

Hey Pizzaguy -
I thought I would mention - service manual indicates the clutch pedal position sensor signal wire is Red/Black and the ground is Brown. The violet wires are on the interlock switch - is this what you were referring to?

PS: I've left connections for the original transponder module and an ignition switch for future troubleshooting. I drive this car maybe 1,000 miles a year now so I am not too worried.

Just need to find a latching ground (or make one) for the 556U transponder bypass now and we'll be in business.
