Adjusting clutch switch
My starting has been intermitten. I could press the clutch hard and it would start. Now it will not no matter how hard I press. I have dropped the lower dash and found what I think is the clutch switch. Can it be adjusted or bypassed?

Yes you can. Just from the top of my head. Cut the tape, move closer to the steering wheel direction a few mm. Push the clutch in with your hand, you'll hear a click. zip tie it when you find the perfect position.

FWIW, You can also code it out completely.
This is a N.American safety item, so the usual caveat applies; change at your own risk. In NCSExpert > goto EWS module "PARK/NEUTRAL_ENGANG" Start only in Park/Neutral Change 'aktiv' to 'nicht_aktiv' ,

clutch switch
Thanks, Internet failed just as I pm'ed you. Cheap Verizon service. Sounds like a big job. Probably need to concentrate on adjusting or replacing old switch. Anyone ever replaced the switch with success? Seems there is no way to adjust the old one. Found replacement switches on Amazon for $50. Will do that if I get positive results from others.

How do you determine if the ignition switch is bad? Auto is now starting every time. Decided to do this on it's own next day after replacing clutch switch.

Search on "ignition switch".
You could just replace it. It don't think it's very expensive or hard to replace.

From this explaination, it seems like a major job. Can the switch be replaced without removing steering wheel or removing the tumblers. Just asking for info from someone who has made the change. Last edited by roscoesdad; 08-03-2017 at 04:00 PM.. |

Well, this would have been helpful, but PhotoPhucket has a ransom on all of the pictures.

Has ncs gotten any easier?
Haven't used it since turning on three blink and recoding amp. All the software is on an old laptop that I'm sure is trash. Do they have any apple based ncs yet or just windows based?
