Help, Codfishing

[SVOboy]

I need to read this when I'm not spacing out, I'd love a kill switch...

[95metro]

You need one for the MID, don't you? You must lose the VSS signal otherwise...

[SVOboy]

I have the MID hooked up to constant power, anyway, I just wanna have a kill switch anyway.

[95metro]

Yeah but doesn't the MID use the VSS signal from the ECU? When you shut off your engine doesn't the MID lose contact with the ECU for a second or two until you key back on? Or does your ECU have constant power as well?

[SVOboy]

My MID is wired directly to the VSS. Since I put the vss in there I got to do it however I pleased, so that's how it goes. Anyway, I think the ecu gets power with the engine off, it just semi-shuts down.

[95metro]

Ah, I see. You bypassed the VSS to ECU connection. Very nice.

[SVOboy]

No, that's there also, if not it throws a code if I use the brakes while in gear. Random, I know, but it exists.

[95metro]

But you put the MID in the middle of the loop, not on the ECU end, right?

[SVOboy]

I think I have 1 branch going to the mid, one to the cluster, and one to the ecu. The stock teg cluster had it set up with branches so I just added a branch.

Remove the steering wheel lock. I did this years ago for Honda-Challenge rules and I don't miss it at ALL. There have been plenty of times that I didn't have my keys on my, but wanted to push the car somewhere. =)
