Clutch safety switch - boyzmom - 09-12-2019
On the 2012 Freightliner we just replaced the safety switch, AGAIN! This is the 2nd one and the truck has only worked 1 week. Any ideas? I got a little ticked off at the cummins dealer when they said I could get an appointment, the end of November. Really????

I think the switches are just junk. The one in my truck has been replaced a lot. You can bypass it by cruise won’t work from what I’ve been told. It’s an option anyways

Then the jake doesn't work either. I did ask one of the mechanics, he might have a way of by passing it so the jakes still work.Mine it only last a week at the most.

I couldn’t figure out why my cruise would cut off and the jake would stop working sometimes just randomly but of course the light stayed on. I did some research and it does seem that the switch on the clutch is junk, I’ve learned to drop it in neutral and press the clutch pedal in the let it slam up. I’ve been able to get cruise and jake back every time so far.

As far as making them work without the clutch it may be possible with DDDL software . There must be option to make it work without clutch as some of the trucks have Auto trans without clutch. Someone has to look it up

Sometimes I can just tap the clutch pedal and it allow cruise and eng brake back on, it varies I suppose.
