VE SS series 2 clutch safety switch

[Mitch-VE6LTR]

Does anyone know how to disable the stupid safety start switch on the clutch? So annoying not being able to start without pushing clutch in...

I had that in a Hyundai company car 15 years ago. I just wired the two cables together that fed the switch up in the pedal box. Problem solved, but not sure if it's that simple in a VE.

Ok have to try and climb in there and have a look what the set up is. Thanks

Clutch switch disengages cruise control, so if you bypass the switch you'll lose cruise control and prob end up with check engine warning light on

Are you sure? I just 'tipped' the clutch pedal and it deactivated cruise.

I have a manual vx ss when I brought the car it wouldn't start unless I disengaged the clutch, but now I can start the car with out using the clutch, I don't know what's happened ever since I changed my cat back exhaust I have been able to start with no clutch in! Why is this?

[ryan101]

Ohh and my cruise control is fine

With my dads VX SS, you can start it without pressing the clutch, I thought that was normal.

Has he done something? Has something been changed?

[doubledip]

in the tune it can be turned of for a VE (but shouldnt as is in there for safety)

can do anything with wires as it is a 3 wire potentiometer in the later VE's (earlier S1 07's had 2 switches)

Where would I go to have the safety switch disabled? Local auto electrician?

my vz has it, annoying, but yet never accidentally try n start in gear...

I know a bloke that tried this on a 6l vz, got it to start without pressing the clutch, but would sit on the rev limiter if he clutched it with the cruise on. I carn't see the problem with it, i've always had manuals and have always press the clutch in before startup force of habit i suppose.
Cheers.

I always depress the clutch when I'm sitting in the car, but often during Summer in QLD I start the car to let the air-conditioning cool down before setting off. That's why it's helpful here.
