clutch starter bypass

How do I bypass the cluitch starter switch on my 1991, ford range,r 4.0 liter, 5 speed, manual transmission?

 

Twist the two wires going to it together.

 

there are six wires going to the switch.

 

Here are some instructions. You will need 18 gauge wire, wire connectors, etc. Also, Ford makes a bypass connector which basically crimps over the lt blue/yellow and I believe pink wires.

Step 1:

Locate the sensor on the clutch pedal and remove.

Step 2:

Locate pink, and red/blue wires.

Step 3:

Splice the two of them together using a crimp-on wire splice connector.

Step 4:

Reinstall the sensor to the clutch pedal and your done.

There is another way to do it using a 2 position switch so that when the vehicle in not off-road the switch will work like normal. For this method follow these steps.

Step 2 A:

use a crimp-on wire connector on each of the wires indevidualy with a pig tail wire off of each one.

Step 2 B:

Run each of the pig tail wires into a standard two position toggle switch.

Step 2 C:

Refer back to step 3 to finish.

Just be aware that you are disabling a SAFETY feature.

 

...if started w/o the clutch pedal pushed in, and in gear, that thing will lurch quite a bit

 

Just get under the floorboard and see where the clutch hits the engage pin/box and then get a tie wrap and/or electical tape and wrap around it to keep it engaged. I did this way in case I wanted to change it back quickly and haven't messed with it in 3 yrs....still works great. Be aware of what tow guy said.
