Scytek remote start manual transmission

OK here is my problem.  I installed my new SCYTEK RS/Alarm and everything works great.  I also bought a neutral sensor switch to add to my car which didnt have one prior (1994 Suzuki Sidekick)  my RS works perfect but you have to depress the clutch for it to work.  My questions are. . .

1. Is there a way to bypass pressing down the clutch or does the clutch have to be pressed down if in neutral.

2. how do I get my neutral switch to show ground when in gear, but break ground when in gear.  The sensor shows on when in neutral and off when in gear.

I'm lost here so can somebody please help!!!

Thanks a lot!!!

1. The clutch will have a switch at the bottom of the travel.  Typically two wires.  One will be the same all the time and one is switched.  You'll have to test to see which wire is the switched wire and then check to see if it's +12V or ground.  Then apply the proper pulse to it during R/S.

2. When you say it's off when in gear, did you check to see if it is showing ground?  If it's not, you can use  a relay to break a ground when the car is in neutral and show ground when it's in gear. But first you need to check the output on the neutral safety switch to see if they are + or -, or you wont know how to wire the relay.

well actually I can wire the sensor either ground or +12v and was thinking I would probably have to use a relay.  But I was doing a little more searching and found this

Connect to a lead or switch that provides ground (-) when hood/trunk is opened. If positive (+) 12 V DC is present when hood/trunk is closed on the same lead, use a blocking diode with the cathode towards the switch.

Would that work???? Either way how would I wire the relay.  Keep in mind that the switch itself can show +12v or ground it does not matter.

You also could have saved all this headache, and siberspace, by just installing a remote start that is (was) designed for a manual trans......

You would NOT need a neutral safety switch. The unit would moniter the door pins and the E brake. You would exit the vehicle with the engine running, and the E brake ON,and the  keys in your hand....when you shut the door the engine shuts down. Clutch bypass is done by connecting the start wire from you R/S directly to the BLACK / YELLOW at the clutch switch. POS(+)

well sorry but there isnt a color screen manual transmission RS on the market that I know of atleast.  but I found out the relay connection from somebody and can now wire my E-brake and my neutral sensor switch in parallel and at the end of that mount the relay to reverse the constant ground to break ground and break ground to constant ground.  I also just permanently bypassed the clutch meanwhile I figure out why the negative pulse doesnt activate the clutch switch and it should work fine.  I will post later to let everyone know.

Thanks for all your help guys!!!

Mustangfoo,

Im in the same situation as you.  I have the same alarm system as you but cant use the remote start feature due to the manual tranny.   I hope you figure it all out and be able to share in great detail of your success.  thanks.
