you have to defeat the 2 lockouts-speed sensor and ebrake engagement.

Looks like you can go to the conv top controller and splice through either/both.

There are DIY's on it. The caution is that defeating both leaves you no safety net. Defeating the speed sensor seems to be the best option, as you then have to engage the ebake 1 click to operate.

It's pretty simple if you follow the DIY's on here.

Takes about 3 minutes to get your body upside down in the passengers seat.

Point Flashlight- Find correct black and white wire, snip, 2 pieces of electrical tape later... problem solved.

Just search for the DIY's

Great mod. I just cut the speed wire, so E-brake still needs to be pulled just one click (small added safety).
