Clutch start safety switch problems

all standard vehicles have a neutral safety switch for many decades so people won`t try starting them in gear causing damage or hurting someone. it maybe open. its located at the base of the clutch pedal and as you push on the pedal all the way down it closes the switch to allow power to start the car. its a 2 wire switch so you can jump the 2 wires and see if the car will start. make sure the car is in neutral.

Did you reconnect the wires and re-position the clutch safety switch at the clutch pedal assembly? If this switch is not positioned or connected correctly it will not allow the truck to start.

Not the clutch assembly, but the start safety switch on the clutch pedal. The contacts could be corroded or just need be pushed onto the clip better to lock it on. I'd just unplug the thing from the connection and clop the two wires together to be sure that the problem is no longer a problem. Nonetheless, there is where your problem arises, from the start safety switch on the clutch pedal.

check or have someone check your neutral safety switch by putting transmission in park, turn ignition switch to start, and move gear selector lever at same time. if engine starts while doing this test you need to adjust safety switch! If you have a manual trans make sure to push clutch pedal as far as possible while turning key!

Neutral safety switch on the clutch pedal may be going out. Its a $15 fix. It tells the computer if the clutch is engaged. If it goes out its like trying to start with out pushing in the clutch, wont turn over at all. Hope this helps.

if you can unplug the leads to the switch and then place an ohm meter on the two contacts, the switch should be opened when the clutch is not depressed and read ohms when the clutch is depressed

When you say it won't start I assume you mean it will not turn over. Have you replaced the ignition switch? Not the key tumbler but the ignition switch. Have you checked the clutch safety switch?

If you mean that you can physically push the vehicle and start it by popping the clutch in 1st gear there is a small safety switch when you press the clutch down all the way it presses in the switch which enables your ignition circuit to work. you can use a circuit tester with the key on one side will have power and the other won"t. Now if the switch functions properly when the key is on and the switch/button pressed in both sides should have power if not get a new switch or you could bypass it by removing the switch and connecting both wires together but I'd highly recommend replacing the safety switch as opposed to the alternative

Could be either,or even a bad ignition switch... if you hear a click/tick when you push on clutch and attempt to start, then its the starter if not check clutch safety switch try wiggling or disconnect switch and see if that works. If not replace switch and FIX the problem. Good luck and thanks for using FIX YA

sounds like your clutch safety switch, the switch that keeps the vehicle from starting unless clutch pedal is depressed, is not working.. the correct thing to do would be to buy a new one.. on the other hand cutting the wires and wiring them together will work just fine.. but keep in mind the vehicle will then start in gear with out pushing in the clutch pedal so use extra precaution when starting if you decide to take this route.. hope i could help
