clutch safety switch 96 jlx sport

[fixkick]

Thanks Fixkick
I started thinking the new switch was single purpose so I decided to open up the old switch. It looked really good,all clean copper and springs looked good. Cleaned it up a bit and reinstalled, starting good and the cruise is working good and depressing clutch kills the cruise instantly, likewise hitting brake pedal. All as it should be. I will keep you posted if it acts up again. I had a pro mechanic look at the intermittent starting problem 2 or 3 times in the last couple of years and we never seemed to solve the problem. I put in 2 new starters myself and still had problems. It will be pretty ridiculous if the clutch safety switch was the problem all along. Will stay in touch
Thanks again Eddy

i kept in my glove box, a jumper wire with matching clips that match the clutch, switch.
just 2 clips, and if the clutch fails, (starter dead) i jumper it, I would never like being stranded for such a silly reason.

if the starter dont crank over, move the clutch pedal deeper, see if it cranks.
on my 91, the jam nut on the switch was missing so would get loose and no longer holds calibration (per FSM book)
so had to buy one of those to keep it tight,.

i have the written procedure.
the free pedal play too , if wrong effects this too.
travel adjustment, height adjustment and last CPP alignment (adjust)
the CPP is last (switch) page 7, the whole book is free . tracker = sidekick.
