After wiring up my alarm, my car didn't start. I found the problem to be the clutch switch relay. The relay works fine but the blue/black wire that is meant to be connected to my clutch switch seems to be dead. The clutch switch is meant to detect if my clutch is pressed, otherwise my car will not start (is this correct).
I can't find where this blue/black wire leads to but I do know that it does not lead to my clutch switch and I also don't believe my clutch has to be pressed in order to start my car (I think my workshop manual is for overseas models).
WTF does this blue/black wire lead to? At the moment all I've done is just tapped into it and grounded it and my car starts fine.

I can find the relay and the clutch switch but what I can't find is where the blue/black wire leads to from the relay. I know in the manual it says it is meant to lead to the clutch switch but it doesn't.

Keep in mind that if you have a cruise control there will be 2 switches on the clutch. One that closes when you partially depress the clutch for the cruise and another that closes only when you fully depress the clutch switch.
There is a relay wired much like a normally open starter kill relay. Unhook the starter at the solonoid, turn the key all the way to crank, and depress the clutch all the way down over an over. Follow your ear to this clicking and you will find the relay where this wire leads.

Sorry, you can NOT post a reply.
