Paid $200 for a mechanic to come across the street, ask me for a paper clip. He bypassed it to get me crunk and running. ( if you need to do that for an emergency, straighten the paper clip, bend to a U shape, pull the inside connectors apart, insert one end of clip in each of the outermost female receptors.) Won’t need to depress clutch, and it will crank and run. I had all of the issues, jake, and cruise working intermediately, and periodic issues with cranking, until it just wouldn’t crank a couple weeks ago. This video saved me from coughing up more money to a mechanic to change it out. Thank you very much. I hope my comment will help those in a pickle like I was, needing an emergency fix to get running.

Please invest in a head mounted go pro so u can use both hands. You're the best KZfaq truck mechanic in clearly relating the work to drivers like me

Just like magic, replaced clutch switch and wa laaa. It fixed all of my problems. Jake and cruise is now working and dont need to hit the key switch 10 times before it hits. THANK YOU SO MUCH 👍👍

Thanks for the help! i had a 2007 Cascadia day cab that needed a parked regen but diagnostic link didn't see the clutch being cycled so i went to parameters and found that clutch position wasn't changing so i replaced the switch and now its all good.

I paid $60 some.change for the part and changed it .that 4 bolt under hood section helped a alot ..thank you now cruise and jack works just fine ...

Great video! I used this technic took 45 mins to change, and that’s honestly because I took my time

Hell I’ve been doing it the hard way. I just used a 1/4 inch swivel and got it under the dash. Hell with that. I can do like you did and not be a contortionist. Probably in the same amount of time. Best tip so far. Thanks

I’m a fat ass trucker this is the video I needed lol I try the other Way but it’s tight lol 😂 thanks 1 million

Tanks Carlos very on time I discovered the video I need to change this switch thank you very much blessed

I wish I had seen this a little sooner. I replaced the switch without pulling it out the front, and it was not fun at all.

Thank you. Keepn it nice and simple. A lot of help. Keep them coming Subscribed !!

Great vid thanks for the info

Thanks!

Do you know how to replace a cigarrete lighter fuse on a freightliner m2 106 2003? Where the fuse box is located?

Thank you for helping us!!

@erlander, I don’t believe there is enough room while the clutch pedal is installed in the truck to remove. I’ve always just removed the complete assembly and then just the switch. I don’t believe you will be saving that much time if you do it from the inside.

My freightliner Argosy Cummins power is cutting off engine whenever I'm reducing gears down because the jake brake is coming in lately after atleast 5 seconds,we replaced the clutch switch but it's still giving same problems

Great video

Very nicely done thank you. My freightliner cascadia has been giving me issues with not starting once I shut it off. hopefully that does the job.

Hi bro, have you ever replaced a clutch switch and when finished the cruise works perfectly bit the engine brake doesn't, it doesn't even light. Do you think that the switch could be defective because the engine brake did work before the replacement.

Unfortunately for me someone has been in there before and chewed up bolt slots and I can't get my t30 to bite

Why is it necessary to literally stand on the clutch pedal with all 280lbs of my body weight to make the truck start? This is not a normal condition. It was normal when it went in for service and this how I get it back.

Brother yo tengo un problema, mi cascadia 2012 me da fallo cuando acelero con el pedal, ya le puse pedal nuevo y lo q hice para llegar fue acelerar con el ccontrol, sabria usted decirme q puede pasar? Gracias

I just replaced the whole Master cylinder a month ago, just now, d cruise n Jake won't work, please advise

Hola pedro ,aveces tengo problemas con el c.control supuestamente en la freightliner le cambiaron ese sensor y sigue con el problema pero aveces, me han dicho que cambie el sensor que esta detrás de la transmisión, k me dices al respecto gracias 🙋‍♂️

You did the hard way. But it works

I have a 2006 freightliner century automatic transmission where can I find that clutch switch cause my cruise and Jake brake is not working

My idle work but my cruise control no works Question is it’s the switch?

Seemed like a cable wire was hangn down which might cause issue down the road.....

I have a 2014 freightliner m2 106, and my cruise not working ,the fast idle works when it wants.and every now and then I have to press on the clutch a few times before it starts. Can it be this switch on my m2 106 aswell ? Thanks

Thank you.

The issue that I am having is my Cruise control will not work while driving. It will work on idle. Jakes work fine. I have replaced the cruise air switch and speed sensor. Still not working. I can say that prior to the cruise air switch change, it didnt work on idle. Brakes lights work fine and it kills jakes when engaged. Not sure where to go from here. Thanks for any help I can get.

My jake and cruise control seem to be intermittent working and not working at the same time. Also when I try to start the truck with clutch pushed down sometimes I have to hit the key up to 10 times before it will start. Also I can go down the road for hours with the Jake and cruise working great. The second I use the clutch when I exit the hwy , I loose my Jake and clutch. I think it's the switch that you showed. Am I correct? Thank you

how I can delet that and start the truck ?

Very helpful. What are bad Symptoms?

Will this work in a cascadia dd15 2010? Thanks!

What is the size of tool need to open clutch fluid housing and the microswitch ,I have issue in cranking and need to follow your steps for replacement.

Thanks so much*****

Having an issue starting the truck. I have to move the clutch around to get it to start. Is this the problem or might it be something else. Thanks.

Is this the same process for 2019 cascadia?

is this the same for a automatic 2016 freightliner Cascadia

I have to stab the clutch a few times to get it started. Do you think this will help

I have to turn my key few times before it starts all I can hear is clicking noise you think it might be this this switch or it’s my starter please advice

I have a truck with a very intermittent no start. I am thinking it is the clutch switch. Has anyone else had this issue. 2012 Cascadia - Thanks for any insight is greatly appreciated

Amigo ese sensor le sirve a un Cascadia 2011? No importa el año gracias

ok.

What year is the truck?

👍🏽
