Safety Shutdown Wires

H3/3 BROWN
H3/4 GRAY
With all ignition wires properly connected, find the appropriate safety shutdown wires. These are the brake
wire and hood pin wires.
Warning! These wires are meant to protect the vehicle and anyone near
the vehicle. They MUST be connected to prevent damage to the vehicle and
possible bodily injury.
First locate the factory brake wire using your multimeter. Find the switch at the top of the metal arm coming
off the brake pedal. Use your vehicle specific wiring information to determine the color of this wire. With
the black lead of your multimeter still in the kick panel, probe the suspected wire with the red lead of your
multimeter.
With the brake pedal at reset, the multimeter should read 0 volts. While watching the multimeter, depress the
brake pedal. The multimeter should read 12 volts. Once you have located the correct brake wire, solder the
small BROWN (H3/3) wire in the 5-pin harness to it and wrap the connection with electrical tape.
Warning! Do not use the vehicle until you confirm the operation of
the brake shutdown.
Installing the hood pin switch requires drilling a hole in a metal lip under the hood. Choose a location that
will allow the pin switch to be completely depressed when the hood is closed. The pin switch has a spade
connector on the bottom for the wire connection.
Always wear eye protection when drilling.
Crimp your spade connector to the hood pin wire, and run the wire into the vehicle's passenger compartment
through a factory rubber grommet , at the same time run the Tachometer Input wire [and Horn output wire
from the Optional Harness through the fire wall. To connect them use the following steps.
Using a sharp, pointed object, poke a hole into the grommet (being careful not to damage any existing wires
in the grommet) and attach the wire to the object with electrical tape. Pull the wire through the grommet,
taking extra care to keep the wire away from any moving parts or anything that will generate extreme heat.
An alternative to this method would be to find a spot on the firewall with sufficient clearance on both sides
and drill an access hole through the firewall. Take note of what is directly on the other side of where you are
drilling as to not puncture brake cylinders, computers, etc. Once the wire is run into the vehicle and secured
from any moving parts, solder the wire to the GRAY wire H3/4 of the 5-pin harness and wrap the connection
with electrical tape.
Warning! The
until you confirm the operation of the hood pin shutdown. Improper
operation could result in serious injury or death.
