Default what is your 2 step wired too?

I'm about to get my mallory 685 that has a built in 2 step and was courious to see what you guys are using to send 12v to activate the 2 step. I was think about wiring up a relay and using one of the horn buttons

Clutch switch, it's a two wire hook up. I think mine was purple and green in my 99 TA

Clutch switch - I think with factory wiring it is a ground source so I used a relay until I rewired the whole car.

i tried to wire my 2 step up to the safety switch but both wires would trigger the 2 step ground so ultimately switch doesnt matter if its open or closed... any suggestions other then just wiring up the neutral safety and using that switch just as a stand alone for the 2 step. car is a a4 wire harness as well so the wires going to the safety switch on the clutch are coming from the a4 harness in the console...

well i took apart a anticipation switch i had kickin around and modified it to work with the 2 step... all it took was a solering iron to melt the plastic and change the enagement point. problem was the switch was open when the pedal was push in and closed when pedal released... obviously backwards for the 2 step unless you rigged up a replay. so i took my soldering iron and melted the plastic on the slider and relocated that plastic so the switch now closes when the pedal is pushed in! hahaha took only 1 min and works flawlessly.

I wired mine to my clutch switch. I also have a separate switch to turn the two step on or off. Got it wired so my N20 wont spray when two step is on and line lock is in use.

If wired to the brake switch, won't it come on everytime brakes are applied and over the rpm limit it's set at ?

Just asking since I was looking at this also and thought it wouldn't work.
