Do the clutch switches for Coyote come with the Coyote wiring harness?
thanks,

They're in the Coyote Controls Pack. Which includes the harness, PCM, PDB, etc. The two Motorcraft switches in the left in this picture.

Also to add to Pauls information the brackets that hold those switches come from FFR. They came out after my kit was shipped so they came to me individually. I would suspect now they come in the coyote install kit. If you are using a hydraulic clutch you can use 1 of the brackets and you will have to fab something up for the other. Edwardb did a great job with the fabrication and I used his build thread as a guide. Worth checking out if you are unfamiliar.

Thanks guys. I need to call FF and see what they will do on the brackets. They wanted to use the 45 day rule on me on the last parts.

They're now part of the Coyote completion kit if you buy that option. But weren't available (or even designed yet...) when the Anniversary kits were released. Support for the 2015 and up Coyote was about 1 year after.

I spoke with Tony this morning, sharp guy. He asked which harness, I was using, not ordered yet. Mike Forte said, the A50xs engine uses the 2014 harness. Tony said, the 2014 harness does not use the clutch switches. Tony said, if anything changes, just let him know, he will take care of it. All sounds good to me.

Correct. The M-6007-A50XS Aluminator XS crate engine uses the previous generation M-6017-A504VA Controls Pack and has no clutch switches. My bad. Assumed you were talking about the 2015 and up Coyote. May want to make that more clear in your questions or your sig line. Most of the Q&A will be different. The switches were added to the 2015 version to provide a built-in safety interlock, plus to solve a driveability/stalling issue with the previous Coyote that required the M-4209ADPT-AC speed dial to be added into the harness. Don't know if that's required for the A50XS Coyote version. Might be something to check if you haven't already.
You may still want to use the clutch starter interlock switch included with the Ron Francis harness, but that's a separate issue.

My bad, edwardb. You gave me the right answer for the question. I had let the older harness application, fall through my mental cracks. I appreciate your CORRECT reply and War Eagle Scott, always helping me with this stuff.
