Nope, i can start my 720 without clutch engaged. Its a 1984 720 with the z24 motor if you were wondering
Misadjusted or bad clutch safety switch? Usually located at the upper end of the clutch pedal
Yes...it's a safety feature....so there is no surging in case the car was in gear and the starter was engaged.
It is on the clutch pedal. Meaning the clutch must be depressed in order to start the vehicle, since this effectively ensures the vehicle is in neutral.
there is no neutral safety switch on 79 accords. I had 2 of them and I would start it in 1st gear alot when the clutch was stuck engaged. Dave
Theirs a safety swith on the cluch pedal arm under dash. Its a safety thing so if its in gear and the clutch isn't engaged it wont start and run thru ur garage, or the car in front of u . David G,
I have a 2006 Nissan frontier and on mine the clutch safety switch is located at the very bottom of the clutch pedal travel. That is to make sure you push the clutch all the way in when you start so you can't accidentally crank it over in gear and drive into a wall (Seen it done twice by two different coworkers in an older dodge w/o the clutch switch!!)
There is a switch mounted under the dash above the clutch arm. It has either slipped out of its bracket or is bad. It is there to keep you from starting the car with the clutch engaged. A safety factor.
to start with when you push in on the clutch pedal you are disengaging it. Your description sounds like the clutch has clutched its last clutch What if it is not the clutch?
DO YOU MEAN THE NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH?
put it in neutral then try to start it.
Because you have to have the clutch depressed to start it. They came factory with a clutch safety switch that will not allow the engine to start unless the clutch pedal is pressed to the floor . NOT. the clutch safety switch only allows the starter to be energized... If the glow plugs will cycle then the truck can be pulled to start. When my starter solenoid was bad I pulled it to start.
Vehicle is equipped with a clutch safety switch
