I have a manual harness in my car. I just want to know if I can add a switch to where the button you press with the clutch pedal is. The purple and yellow wires you use to start the car. I was looking to add a switch to there as a kill switch and was wondering if its safe to do so or if anyone has done it before. Also anything I sould look out for if I use it

Thanks

 

it wouldnt be a kill switch, more like a "have to press while starting" button. adding a secondary button in parallel on the clutch safety switch shouldnt cause any issues.

 

I just want to add it there as it makes it so much easier to run and the fact is I dont have the clutch switch so this would add some safty to starting it too. Looking for a switch is dam impossible as everyone from my local parts store isnt the right one

 

so your car doesnt have the clutch safety switch? rock auto has them. $5. its under electrical - relays $ switches, clutch pedal position switch. it doesnt come with the pigtail, so youll need to get one of those too if yours is missing.

 

I looked up the part and its the same one I have here but it doesnt plug into my harness for some reason. Either i got it backwards or im a idiot but it just doesnt go

 

3rd or 4th gen pedals?

 

and what year is the harness from?

 

I have 4th gen pedals and a thrid gen switch that goes with my 87 harness for the car. Car is a 89 but all the dash wiring was redone for a 4th gen dash swap so I took it all out of the car and took a 87 unmolested harness from a parts car I had

 

huh thats weird and an 87 switch doesnt fit in the harness?

 

I got it new and the harness pig tail doesnt fit the switch at all. I will take alook again at it but the dash connector is twice the size of the switch where it goes into.This is it here

 

id look into getting a switch with pigtail and splice that in place of the pigtail thats there. does the switch physically fit on the pedal mount?

 

Im just gonna put a toggle switch in for now and look into replacing the stock switch eventually. The switch I have does fit on the peddles bit not the wiring. I think there was a stock connector between the 2 pieces from what I can remember. Its been along time since I took out the harness

 

yea, i havent really messed with the clutch safety switch much myself.

 

if anyone knows please let me know. For now im gonna cut the stock one off and put it to a pincess auto switch under my seat so it acts as a kill switch. Another place I might try is the ashtray too as its covered up

 

just found this, looks like theres a pigtail that plugs in between them

 

unless the thing still plugged in in the pic was just cut out. hard to tell from the pic

 

It might have been home made as thats what it looked like to me. Ill look into maybe extending it with spade connectors to the switch

 

As noted above , won't be a "kill" switch.
