Holy fuck thanks man. I've been looking through like six thousand videos looking for a God damn video WITH A SWTICH. Everybody is doing the damn thing with the clutch pedal.
when i hooked up the 2 step on my 06 gt i tried using the wires to the neutral safety switch that u were pointing out, but that didn't work, had to wire into the switch at the very top of the clutch pedal to make mine work.
The blue wire is for a hand switch the white wire with blue stripe is for clutch and u have to tap into the green and black wire located on top of the clutch (11-15) gt mustangs
If i dont want the switch. We have 3 wires come through black blue white wire with a blue stripe Black mean ground Is that right if i cut the blue wire with the orange stripe on the clutch switch. One side connect with the blue, one side connect to the white wire with the blue stripe. The black (ground) connect to the yellow wire on the clutch switch
ok, what I understand is that you take the blue wire you connect to the 12 v of the clutch and from there you pass it to the swich, and the swich takes 12 v and a ground to activate or deactivate the rev limiter, is it correct?
Sorry I did not see this comment earlier but no that is not correct. You are almost there but you are combining both the clutch pedal and the switch and they need to be separated. Example the blue is correct you are going to connect that to the power side of the clutch if you want to use the clutch, but if you want to use the switch than you are not going to do anything with the clutch all wires are fed to the switch the blue wire and your own independent ground wire that you need to supply bc it does not come with the kit. Any 12 gauge wire will be fine. Connect both that blue and (your ground) to the switch and that’s all you need for it to work brother.
1991tommygun Well you can use them off your clutch pedal instead of a switch but my particular customer wanted a switch. Directions will give wiring instructions for both ways
This really does depend on what year mustang you have. If you have a 2010 mustang gt like the one in this video than yes the blue and white wire is useless and does not need to be hooked up to anything. If you have a different year mustang than it might be required for you to use the blue and white wire, and if you use the blue and white wire than the solid blue wire becomes useless and does not need to be hooked up to anything. Basically MSD provided both wires for a variety of applications so your vehicle will only use one or the other not both. Hope this helps.
If you want to use your clutch than MSD provides everything you need with there kit. If you want to use a switch than you will have to go to AutoZone or shop online and buy a 2 prong switch that you like. along with maybe 4ft of 12 gauge wire for ground.
@@queso2561 anything other than that to make it work? No issues with the car since install? Mines going on a 15 but I really just couldn’t figure out the wiring to switch part.
@@baggedyote8963 That's all you need to make it work, but bc you have a 2015 try and hook the switch up the same as this video but swap the connectors( the tan wire connector and the red wire connector). Also the plug n play harness is going to be bank specific so make sure you have them on the proper side.
But if it’s wired to a switch and I were at the drag strip. I would be holding the 2 step at the light then I launch I would have to switch it off after I launch. Right?
Sprayed Coyote actually just found out it isn’t! Apparently it has a feature that it will only activate when it is 1,000 rpm under what u have it set at. So after I launch it won’t matter if the switch is on! But thanks for responding
1:58 , then read the description "No one takes the time anymore to help out the guys and gals that would like to do it on there own anymore. Plenty of two step install videos but there is very little detail on the wiring process"
Boozi88 the part I skipped over is plug and play you can’t mess it up. All the wiring that needs to be done for the 2 step is covered in this video boss
Avoid using the brake pedal switch, not because it won’t work but bc that specific circuit was never ment to hold as much load as a two step will give off. Secondly automatic vehicles do not use two steps instead you guys use trans brakes. The reason being bc a clutch pedal can physically separate the flywheel from clutch allowing the engine to be in a neutral position not under load. You will need a trans brake to basically have the same effect in an auto vehicle.
Hey bro I’ve connected my coil packs to my two step haven done the wiring for the switch yet, I was wondering if you knew why my MSDs red light is on while my ignition is turned on
Sorry correction it will be the tan and single red wire connectors that you should flip. If that doesn’t work, verify that you have the correct coil connections bc they are bank specific.
Where did you end up mounting your switch ? I wanted to use my centre console, right side of my shifter. Looking for ideas for quick access after release of the clutch. Anyone is welcome to send ideas
Big Chewbaka For manuals it’s a little more convenient to just have it wired up to the clutch but if you really want to use a switch you definitely can. We ended up mounting ours to the right of the shifter on the center counsel. Drilled a hole then secured the switched.
@@queso2561 yes I do, so on the wire on the sensor you pointed out i splice both my blue and my white and at first my solid blue wire actually worked for a little and now that i keep trying it stays activated even with clutch depressed so I can’t seem to find the issue
Yo confirm, can you very that you have 2 wires going to your clutch pedal position switch. You should see a light blue with a yellow tracer, and a red wire with a light blue tracer.
@@queso2561 okay so what I see is only the yellow with light blue and next to it is a black cable, I haven’t tried tapping into the black cables since people say that they’re ground cables
Ricardo Quezada No you have control of the two step you can simply activate it and deactivate it through the clutch pedal or switch. It also has rpm parameters you can change to whatever you want.
Sprayed Coyote yeah i know but if i connect it to a switch thats already wired and grounded and if i connect blue cable to 12v going to switch would its work when switch is pressed or just stay on constantly?
Sprayed Coyote sorry but i want to just hook it up to my traction control switch so its connected to a already hooked up switch i want it to work when i donuts i get popping and flames
Okay well if you connect it to your traction control button then that's not going to work bc your 2 step will just stay on and you wont be able to do a donut. What I would do is get a separate switch, then when you want to to do a burnout you turn TC off, flip your 2 step switch on punch it to get your flames, then turn the 2 step switch off when you're ready to burnout or do donuts
So Basically you are not the one to teach anybody because you dont know the names of the electrical components which is ok because you have a 50/50 chance of being WRNG.

@@ponylifestyle5995 Then you didnt tap into the right clutch cable. If your 2 step comes on during ignition on, then you wired something wrong.

What year is your stang?

Thanks homie I really appreciate that🙏🏼

@@queso2561 it was the wire thru the fire wall to a switch from white blue. Shit confused me
Thank you so much dude all the other videos help but yours sealed the deal cant wait for mine to come in

I did this and my 2step still won’t work
@@Borrego43did ya ever figure it out?

We have 3 wires come through
black
blue
white wire with a blue stripe
Black mean ground
Is that right if i cut the blue wire with the orange stripe on the clutch switch. One side connect with the blue, one side connect to the white wire with the blue stripe.

More like Spayed Coyote lol. RACE ME 😈
So if I use a switch the blue and white wire is useless or do I still connect it to something

Question, what about setting it up to a auto ? Would you splice into the brake pedal instead of the clutch in this case ?
No, use a switch
Do NOT hook a two step to your brakes
