4) Key Switch Hardware (Flush Ring, Lock Washer, and Nut)

Tools Needed

1) Drill and ¾” bit (wood or sheet metal bits work best)

2) Crescent Wrench OR 7/8” deep socket to tighten nut

*** DISCONNECT YOUR BATTERY BEFORE PROCEEDING ***

Step 1

Drill a ¾” hole in the vehicle’s dash where you would like to mount the key. Any smooth spot on the dash is fine – just remember you will need to tighten the nut on the other end, so if you don’t have a 7/8” deep socket, make sure to pick a spot where you will have room to fit your wrench to tighten the nut on the back side.

TIP: If your vehicle has a fake plastic key, we DO NOT recommend drilling your hole through the existing key hole. Smooth surfaces on the dash are much easier to work with.

Step 2

Insert the key switch into the hole you drilled in Step 1 making sure the flush ring is on the front side of the dash (the flat side of the flush ring should fit flush against the dash). Slide the lock washer onto the back of the switch. Make sure the lock washer’s teeth are pointing towards the plastic then screw the nut on behind it. Tighten the nut (using your wrench or 7/8” deep socket).

TIP: You will know the nut is tight enough if you can apply a normal amount of force to the key without causing the key switch to turn. You can always tighten the nut later if the switch begins to turn.

Step 3

Remove your existing pedal plate (plastic piece that houses the black accelerator switch). Most pedal plates require you to simply pop in the plastic tabs on the underside to release the pedal plate (see picture below).

Step 4

Run the wire harness from your key switch to the accelerator switch. All vehicles are different, but the run is usually very easy. Just keep two things in mind when choosing your path:

1) Try to avoid running the wire where it might be kicked or stepped on (using the existing wire paths and holes in the vehicle is an easy way to accomplish this – see page 2 for a picture example)

2) Avoid running the wire too low where it might get caught on a stick while riding.

The side of your wire harness with one plastic end and one metallic end will connect to the ‘Accelerator Side’ of your vehicle. Unplug the white wire from your vehicle’s black accelerator switch and plug it into the plastic end of the key kit wire harness. Connect the metallic end to the middle pin of your accelerator switch (where the white wire used to be).

The other side of the harness plugs into the two male terminals on the key switch. Connect the metal ends to these terminals – it does not matter which end goes to which terminal.
