for a quick fix, arc the starter solenoid on the fender. fat bundle of wires on the stud to the small skinny stud. have the ignition on and the trans in neutral with the parking brake set.
for a more permenant fix..... the clutch interlock is on the master cylinder pushrod itself.
the cruise control is there too, so you'll see four wires.
if you're stranded, you can always jump the solenoid on the fender, just make sure you're not in gear.
i just looked in my alldata, the wire you want to jumper is the red with light blue stripe. ......this is a excerpt from a post I did for the IDI section, it very well may be the same wire color combination for the PSD.
