Doing a remote start on a 2002 f350 diesel and need to bypass the clutch switch in order to remote start the vehicle. I have a 6 pin plug at the switch and I am having a hard time figuring out which wires need to see what. Has anyone done this before or have any input.

Pin layout on AllData
pin 1 (LB/YE) voltage supplied in start
pin 2 (TN/RD) switched power to starter motor
pin 3 (TN/LB) speed control, deactivator switch
pin 4 (RD/LG) voltage supplied in run and start
pin 5 (WH/PK) voltage supplied in start
pin 6 (LB/YE) clutch pedal position switch to PCM

 

why do you want to remote start you manual for?
dont you put it in gear to park it? this can be dangerous

 

lol had a feeling I would get that response, and yes it can be dangerous but the company I work for has a disclaimer for that and as the installer I can't really say no. There are a few safety features used to help ensure the vehicle isn't started while in gear but at the end of the day it is still possible. None the less I figured it out thank you anyway.

 

yep, as long as you dont put it in Gear when you park lol

 

Lol. To add to then list of things I wouldn't do is add a remote start to a diesel, especially a 6.0 I'm a man of maintenance and watching my fluids. Before I go anywhere everyday I check my fluids

 

i dont check my fluids all that often. I know how i keep my things and as long as there isn't a visible leak or a puddle of something on the floor, ill know its good.

 

Can you post what you found so future seekers of knowledge will be able to benefit from your successful quest?



Oh, and welcome to FTE!

 

Used a relay on pin 2, (rests at 4v and jumps to 12v while clutch is depressed) used a 12v output on the remote start to trigger the relay for a 12v output to the clutch pedal and that did the trick.

 

Awesome. Thanks!
