    Neutral Safety Switch

    Which one of these is the neutral safety switch? And what's the second switch for? I'm inlined to use the neutral safety switch, but wondering if I need to mount both switches to the Wilwood Pedal Box.

    Mike, the blue terminal is B107 - Cruise Control Switch. This disables the cruise control when the clutch pedal is pressed.
    The other terminal is the B106 Clutch Switch that prevents the starter from engaging unless the clutch is depressed. The B106 male terminal is white with 2 wires: green/yellow and black. I've kept this switch in my 818 because it with no top someone could easily reach in and turn the key possibly causing your car to run over a beer cooler . . . or worse.

    The neutral safety switch is the rear most switch on the left side of the transmission.

    Top one on the pedal box is the safety switch.

    Incorrect, the one on the trans tells the ECU that the trans is neutral for closed loop idle control

    Tough crowd,
    m16 makes his second post and is already corrected for getting confused between neutral position switch and a neutral safety switch.
    The 818 does not have a Neutral Safety switch.
    The switch that prevents starting is call a "clutch switch" by Subaru.
    The other switch on the clutch pedal is called a "Cruise clutch switch" by Subaru.
    I'm laughing while writing this.

    So to keep the starter from turning when the clutch pedal is not pressed, do I leave the switch with the black plus, or the blue plug?

    Choose 1: Black or blue

    Mike, The black one prevents starter from running unless clutch is depressed.
    The blue one disengages cruise control when clutch is depressed.

    Mike, I called it the "other one" (not blue), Wayne called it the "top one" and now Bob confirms it is the black one - all of these are the same.
    We have all been correct but the names were different.
