Clutch pedal position switch – check and replacement

Check

1. The clutch pedal position switch, which is part of the starter relay circuit, is mounted on the clutch master cylinder pushrod. The switch closes the starter relay circuit only when the clutch pedal is fully depressed. The switch is an integral part of the clutch mas­ter cylinder pushrod and cannot be serviced separately. If the switch must be replaced, so must the clutch hydraulic release system (Clutch hydraulic release system – removal and installation).

2. To test the switch, verify that the engine will not crank over when the clutch pedal is in the released position, and that it does crank over with the pedal depressed.

3. If the engine starts without depressing the clutch pedal, replace the switch.
