I have searched and read through the few posts already and nothing seems to be definate.  If someone can please explain how to wire up the clutch bypass I would greatly appreciate it.  I have 6 wires on my clutch pedal with a black round cylinder. Looking at the harness plugged in, the wire closest to the right went to ground when depressed, now the wire on the far left of harness went to 12v when depressed. I am wondering to wire this up to work with the Viper 560XV.

Thanks,

J. Abshire

Any idea what happens that one time you or someone else leave it in gear and you remote start it?

I appreciate the concern about my truck driving itself into something if it is ever started in gear. Do you have any relative information pertaining to bypassing the clutch pedal switch?

Thanks,

J. Abshire

I did this with my 95 ranger and 2002 sport trac. I made my own safety shut down at the shifter. I didn't mess with the clutch wiring at all. I tried but popped fuses a couple of times. ran starter wire directly to the starter. the trucks wouldn't start in any gear but neutral. people wanted me to do this on their vehicles but i refuse. i take responsibility for my vehicles, not anyone elses.

When you tested the wire, was the ignition on or did you just test the wires with the truck off ? This does make a difference in the wire being tested. Post your results.

I tested when the ignition was off. I will go test it with the ignition turned on and post my findings.

Thanks,

Well after testing the wires I never found the wire on the clutch so I bypassed it completely and ran a 10gauge wire from the purple wire on the Viper Remote Start Harness to the wire on the relay.  I fused this wire with a 40amp fuse just to be safe.  On Ford vehicles the starter wire is located underneath the metal brake lines, the wire is about a 10gauge wire that is Yellow with a light blue stripe.

Thanks,

J. Abshire

or, you could go to the starter solenoid on the fenderwall by the battery. it probably only needs a 10amp feed.
Oh, and do society a favor, buy a PAC NSS so you don't "accidentally" kill someone with your truck.
