Well finally got time to work on MY truck... Its a Mazda B3000 Pickup 1999, 5 spd manual... Here's my gig... I've got my alarm (safe for manual trannys, plus i dont ever leave it in gear when i park...) I know that the clutch bypass wire on this truck is pink above clutch, now.... the pink wire i found was very thin... like 18awg wire or so.. is this it??? Wiremagic sheets says to wire the starter output to this wire... Find odd that a thick 12 awg should hook to this little one... I have my bypass... and everything... just unsure right now and I'm outta the shop and dont have my multimter... any ideas?

do a test for yourself...tie your dmm to it, and put your clutch to the floor.  does it show 12 volts?  put the clutch to the floor and crank.  does it show 12 volts on crank?  Many of these clutch switch bypasses can also be done by providing continuity between 2 wires on the same plug....often just 12 volts.  This is why putting the starter signal (+12V only for crank) bypasses the switch just while cranking....

always test first!

Ok here it is
I put the clutch to the floor and registered 3.02v
Started the truck and clutched it got 12.4v
So can I just throw the 12v to it?

Ok one last question, this is good so that you still have to put the clutch in when reguarly starting.

Does the wire connecting to the clutch still have to be large gauge? Or does this wire turn on a relay somewhere else? Reason I ask is because the unit has onboard starter kill so it says to cut starter wire and connect each side, but the unit has a 2nd starter output but like 18AWG... was wondering if this clutch wire activates a relay, or something, that a small 18AWG would bypass it..

My guess is no, but any input is appreciated. Also? Where can i find the e-brake wire in this truck, other than the e-brake? I can't seem to find the plug and my fat head can't see it.

does the truck have a starter solenoid on the fender like a ford does?  (this is, afterall, a ford product now!).  If it does, then the +12V on the wire is just a signal.  What size is the wire on the clutch pedal?  If your wire is anywhere close to that gauge, you're fine....

Sweet... the wire on the clutch pedal is tiny, (18 most likely) I'll check the solenoid on the fender (i love how the mazda and ford are interchangeable for parts, same engine, same truck) Thanks a million, if anyone knows where the e-brake plug is other tahn the brake itself, lemme know.
