Ford Focus ZX5 Interior Arming Switch Taped Parking Brake

Our full-throttle switch didn't match well with the throttle body linkage so we elected to simplify the problem with a cockpit-mounted button. We routed the red wire from the relay (under the hood) to the button and then connected it to a key on/engine off fuse at the fuse box. We didn't want to resort to drilling holes in our new console to mount the switch, so we temporarily taped it to the parking brake handle, which worked out well. Eventually, we'll find a cleaner location for the button, preferably on the steering wheel.
