I’m glad you posted that video because I was about to do a remote start security system on a 2002 Jeep Wrangler and there is a good thing to know and I do love your videos

I've been looking for a Clutch Safety Switch replacement for my 1974 mustang II. 5 years now, Curious if something like this would work? I can only find the Neutral Safety Switch for the automatic which is different from a Manual Transmission.

I have a Tractor semi truck.. I do have a 12 v brake light switch. this should work for me. it is a diesel engine. Im installing a AL-1870 3 d b.

My JK has manual locks. No power options. Will this system/remote still go into reservation mode if theres no power lock feature?

Hey I enjoyed watching your videos in this series and look forward to the install video. I myself installed the Compustar CM7000 with Pro T11 remote in a 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with Manual Transmission. I installed shock/tilt combo, glass break, and proximity sensors. I wanted to point out a mistake you made in describing the necessary wires to do the task of bypassing the clutch. You actually need a relay to do this function. You have to interface with BOTH the clutch interlock AND the clutch upstop wires. If you do not do the clutch bypass this way you WILL get a check engine light after the vehicle is remote started. The clutch switch is in a tough spot. It is on the driver side corner of the firewall roughly 12 inches down toward the ground. You will find 3 wires in this harness. One is NOT needed and the two that you will need are Yellow/Red and Green/Orange. You will use a standard Bosch style Single Pole Double Throw relay to do the task and will wire it as follows. The 86 pin to the (-) Status Output wire, the 85 pin to Constant 12v (+), the 87 pin to Yellow/Red. You will cut the Green/Orange wire and the plug side of the wire will go to pin 30. The other cut end of the wire will go to 87a. For reference, the Yellow/Red wire is the clutch interlock and the Green/Orange wire is the clutch upstop. There is a diagram from Fortin available on the internet. Do a google search for Jeep JK Clutch Bypass and then click on images and it should be there. Just wanted to point this out because I don’t want a DIYer to be doing his first remote start and see the check engine light on and think they messed up. Good luck on your install and thanks for making these vids!

You are right about the relay in 2012 and up (or maybe 2011 and up) Wranglers.... They did make a change from the early years that required that relay to be added that wasn't required before. I think I may try and cover that in a separate video to help. It's tough to try and help everyone. If you have a auto trans Wrangler that is the same year as mine, I can tell you EXACTLY everything you need to do... but with the small differences year to year, or build to build... all I can do is try and get people close! Thanks for the info! I will def use it as a reference if I am able to do a follow up on this!

[@claytonalexander1207]

Joe K you said pin 86 in the relay goes to Status Output wire, is that the wire from this video that CPO says goes from the remote start unit to the clutch safety switch?

[@joek1980]

The Neutral Safety Swiitch Wire will go to your Emergency Brake wire under the center console. The Blue Ignition wire that CPO spoke about will go to Pin 86 to trigger the Clutch Bypass Relay. Reply back here if you need more help and good luck!

[@joek1980]

Because you will be using the Blue Ignition wire to trigger the relay you will not need to use a - Status Output/Ground While Running wire.

[@claytonalexander1207]

Awesome thank you. I didn’t realize this but this system has built in relays to address this issue. I’m going to setup the base unit without the proximity sensor for now,. CPO, when you added in the proximity sensor, did you have to redo the initial programming or did it just work automatically?

[@fitjustwright1980]

I know this is an old video but I have a 2007 wrangler manual and I am trying get the remote start function to actually start the eng.. the only thing that happens it the unit clicks and the lights will flash occasionally but that’s it. Any suggestions ?

[@gitmac53]

Did you connect the system to the clutch switch and hand break?

[@basiliorivera7153]

What model Excalibur so you have with that motion sensor thing?

[@joek1980]

Forget to add that the absolute hardest part of the install is getting the steering column cover off. The “collar” of the steering column cover since insidethe steering wheel housing. Some guys have actually pulled the steering wheel off. I found a guy on a Jeep forum and followed his method. I used a 4” scraper and pryed it out little by little. In all honesty it took me a good half hour or so to pop it out. Very very lousy design. Good luck.

[@o3djeeps]

Ahhh, yes. The 2017! Its a bit different. I got my ignition switch t-harness video posted last night and covered this for folks. Pulling the steering wheel out a bit (not off) is actually the best method according to those that do these installs for a living. I can only talk about it, since mine is obviously a 2015. When you watch video #5 (kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHennoeAZ9mUZ9U) you'll be mad a me for how easy mine was to do! lol

[@nighthawk3800]

Overclock3D, Are you going to finish the OME lift kit install on CJ's jeep? Been waiting for almost 2 months. What's up? .......YAR!!

[@o3djeeps]

Absolutely! Actually I just picked up his wheels and tires last week. The rear is pretty much completed..but I wanted to put the new wheels and tires on when I put it back on the ground... it's going to be getting some love soon! Promise!

[@wolfwowitz]

Jk cuz it's a joke
