Has anyone out there ever done this on this vehicle? The switch on my clutch has three switchs on it. One for the starting circuit,one for cruise control(vehicle does not have)and one that goes to the ecm. It seems that I need to short the starter circuit wires together and the ecm wires together through relays at start up to get this work. I was just wanting an outside opinion before I possibly messed up. Everything that I have tried so far has failed. Any input would be great.

Do a simple test.  take out your dmm and measure voltage on each wire during CRANK with the clutch in.  You'll find that one of them goes to +12V when starting only.  Now, with the truck safely restrained (and in neutral), temporarily put +12V on that wire, and try cranking WITHOUT the clutch in.  You'll find it cranks.

So...you need to apply +12V only on crank to that wire to bypass it.  Using a relay, use +12V crank signal to both power the coil and use as output, and use the rmt starters ground-out-when-running to ground the coil.  This essentially allows crank signal to reach that wire ONLY when remote starting.  If you had just applied +12V on crank, it would have permanently disabled the safety.

As always, use a DMM to test EACH wire and be extra sure of whats going on.  Don't just take my word for it (this is my disclaimer!)  1996 Ford Ranger clutch bypass -- posted image.
