I am working on a 200 Mazda 626. It is a standard and I am putting in a viper 554R two way alarm with remote start. I wanted to get experimental and bypass the clutch so I no longer have to step on the clutch to start the car, so I connected the two wires to the switch to bypass it and it worked fine. But after I disconnected the wires and plugged the switch back in the car cranks but does not turn over. What did I do? Did I fry the immobilizer? Could I have blown a fuse? Does any one know? I need help!

your computer could have set a code, disconnect the battery for 1 min, reconnect, and try to start it.

Not a smart move either, you leave yourself wide open for a lawsuit as the vehicle can now start in gear.

best thing to do is to use the groung when running output (the one for the immobilizer) to hook up a relay that sends ground to the clutch when you press on the start button on the remote.

or use a manual transmission safety interface.

It was a simple problem, I disconnected a senser. The car still started 4 or 5 times after I disconnected it so it took me a while to put the car not starting and me disconecting the senser together. I was thinking the car would not start in result of what I was working on at the time. And yes that is good advice not to remove the clutch switch to avoid a lawsuit.

Well Bob K, I hope you live in a city where they only allow cars that are1990 and newer because before that they did not put clutch switches in all manual cars. Otherwise you might want to move to a city where they ride horse back.
