Installing the hood pin switch requires drilling a ¼-inch hole in
the metal lip under the hood. Choose a location that will allow
the pin switch to be depressed when the hood is closed.
The pin switch has a connector on the bottom for the wire
connection. Using a spade connector (included) strip back a ¾-
inch section of the insulation and crimp the connector on to the
wire. Pull on the connector to ensure a good connection.
Place the connector onto the pin switch and run the wire into
the vehicle through a factory rubber grommet. Using a sharp,
pointed object poke a hole into 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. Once
the wire is run into the vehicle and secured from any moving
parts, solder the wire to the GRAY wire on the secondary wire
connector and cover the connection with electrical tape.
The last safety shutdown wire is the neutral safety wire. This
wire is extremely important as it prevents the vehicle from
starting in gear which could cause serious bodily harm.
When determining the neutral safety wire it is important to test
the vehicles starting circuit for factory neutral safety features. To
do this, simply put the vehicle in gear and try to start the vehicle
with the key. If the vehicle starts in gear there is no factory safe-
guards and the safety switch must be installed.
important! Do not use the vehicle until you confirm the
operation of the hood pin shutdown.
