where do these plugs go?

I'm about to finally out my car back together, but there are just a few plugs that I can't figure out. I'll post pics and I hope you guys can tell me where they need to go.

Plug 1:

plug 1 seems to be a little sensor thing for the clutch pedal. it senses when the pedal is let out.

plug 2

the two outlined plugs seem as though they should go together(one black, and yellow wire on each one), but the plugs are different. do I need to connect these?

Clutch interlock switch, so the car only starts when the clutch is in.


Looks like cruise control off sensors for the pedals.


Hard to say... is there a better pic of the wires or plug itself?

can't you leave the clutch interlock switch unplugged so you can start the car without holding the clutch pedal in? Like the Dsm owners do to prevent crankwalk?

Not without jumpering the car side.

Clutch interlock switch, so the car only starts when the clutch is in.
then what is the switch between the pedal and the firewall?

Looks like cruise control off sensors for the pedals.
so can they just stay unplugged since I have no cruise control?

Hard to say... is there a better pic of the wires or plug itself?
damnit, I'm trying to post another picture, but the page won't load when I try.

if it helps, there are two wires, one is blue/red, the other is white/green.

thanks for helping. I thought noone ever would.


hey, have you fixed your boost problem yet?
I don't know, I tightened down the clamp, but I haven't boosted much since then.

I don't have to push the clutch to start my car now, and I haven't done anything except leave that unplugged.

The starter interlock switch is the one you all are talking about. Its mounted on the firewall and the clutch pedal depresses a plunger on it when you push on the pedal.
The clutch switch is mounted on a little bracket opposite the interlock switch. Its plunger is depressed when youre off the pedal.

The switch that prevents your car from starting is the starter interlock switch. By unplugging it from the harness and jumpering it, you can start your car without having to push the clutch in.
