I was just thinking out loud. I basically removed the clutch switch and the starter is permanantly enabled, not just when the clutch pedal is pressed. When i do this, if it works, I will have to install another switch.

...because i hate waiting for shipping, i stopped into the dealer to see the cost on this. $125 for the stalk, and if needed, either $44 or $16 for the jumper. then again, this isn't a tacoma; do we need it?
and the moral of the story: wait for the shipping!

This could be the ultimate cheap mod for the Yaris. Quite interested in the developments.

Anyone have trouble getting the steering wheel bolts off (the hex screws on the side)? I was going to try and just check the mounting spot today but couldn't even get the screws to budge.
I'm thinking I need a torque wrench? |

yeah I thought so too...I'm pretty sure it's aftermarket as the switch itself doesn't toggle, it has three buttons....also there is no IPC light just a very bright annoying (at night) green light on the stalk to let you know it's on and ready to use.
the damn thing isn't visible through the holes in the steering wheel either, and it's backwards from what I'm used to.... top button is for decrease/set side button is for on/off bottom button is accel/cancel...weird huh....
