Cowmeat, thanks for the links!! I actually just read through your Ron Burgundy thread yesterday and man, that was one gorgeous Insight! Too bad it just disappeared. How long did it take you to wire everything up?

It might also put the car in forced charge. I'm not sure. Worth trying! You should also try the clutch switch and see just what it does in your car.

Won't interrupting the signal cause the IMA light to turn on? And since this would be a modification of the original clutch mod, doesn't the clutch mod prevent regen, but still allow assist (which is why the 0% SOC spoof would be necessary)?
Right now I'm at loss to figure out how to remove the lights from the rear of the Insight to measure the sockets...with the Civic I could just pull some carpeting back and voila, the lights and sockets were right there. On the Insight I can't see how to access them unless I literally remove the bumper and the entire light housing..
