I just installed a keyless/remote start on my 99 F-250 PSD. The last thing I need to complete the job is for someone to tell me how to bypass the clutch so the remote start will work. I have search the fourums with no luck on issue. Thanks for the help

what kind of remote start are you using?

Your clutch should be a positive switch. Meaning put the keys in and turn to on. Find the lower clutch switch, one line should be +12v and the other line should show open or ground. Attach one probe of your meter to this line, ground the other probe. Push the clutch in, the meter should show +12v on this line that was open or showing ground. If this wire goes to +12v it needs to have a line attached to it that goes to +12v under remote start. 99% of the time this wire can be found as the starter wire on the remote start.

Like was mentioned earlier, what kind of RS system is this that you are putting in and does the unit have a safety setting or reservation mode for use in a manual transmission vehicle. Failure to use a unit with this type of setting can result in the vehicle starting in gear, not a good thing and definitely not recommended.

you have to make sure if it changes polarity when you put the key in on position. and tested as rob said. use a relay

And to add to that, it has a safety feature/mode, as well as an auto reservation mode. The unit is manual specific.
