switch
It appears there are two switches on the clutch pedal. I'm assuming one is for Cruise Control, one is for starter. Of course, i have no idea which is which. I'm hoping Paul or Blue can answer this question.

Well then, it must be my immobilizer, as i connected the wires as you showed me and still no cranking.

I'll have to tow to the dealer this week and see if they can reset whatever it is that's shut me down.

I'll update everyone when i get this figured out.


thxx !

Yes now that I have the wiring diagram in front of me, there are 2 switches, I should have not trusted my failing memory!
