The safety switch on my sidekick was only working intermittently which meant I had to push start often. I just diagnosed the problem recently, so bought a new switch at Napa. The no start problem seemed to be solved, but now my cruise control is not working. I figured out that if you ride the clutch the c/c works, but when you let off it kicks out. I thought that perhaps I had crossed wires on the switch, switched them around and same problem.
The original switch had the connector built in, all the after market one's have 2 lead wires coming off the back to connector.
Do you think I just got a bad switch or is this the typical ( parts look similar but are not interchangeable syndrome). I noticed the part was made in Japan which gave me hope it would work in my JLX.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Any way to rebuild old switch?
Thanks Fixkick, you have saved my butt many times with all your vast wisdom.
