Gentleman,

My car - 2019 Mustang GT Automatic.

I have purchase the MSD-87311 2- step, and I have a few questions in regards to the install.

I have an automatic so I’m going to tap in to the brake light switch located in the brake pedal. Does anyone know which wire that is?
- I will be using the MSD 12v activation signal wire, blue/white wire.

Since it’s an 18-19 I was told to switch the #3 cylinder wires. Is that done on the harness side (before the MSD box) or on the coil pack side (after the MSD box)?.

Does it matter which way I install the main harness?... run the harness behind the engine or in front?... the instructions didn’t specify.

Thank you for the help !

Does MSD / Holley offer any support for your application?
Looks like they have a few brands
Never called any of them before except before Holley bought out the bg demon stuff.

Tested all the wires in the brake switch harness and they all have between 10-12v going through them. Going to find a 12v source on the brake light, if that doesn’t work then I’m going to a momentary switch.
