NO clutch safety switch
Evening All,
2002, F250, 5.4L, ZF-6 trans.
Ok...today by accident turned the key with the truck in gear and clutch not depressed...much to my surprise the truck tried to start and lurched forward.
Is this a sign of a failing clutch safety switch or has someone bypassed it at some point in the past?
Could it be an ignition switch problem?
Anything else that I am not thinking of?
Thanks,
Rick

That may be true, I can see the black part behind my clutch.
I have been trying to find a diagram of how it should look original from the factory...does anyone have the diagram or a photo for a 2002 F250?

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo
a little clutch (brake) fluid leaks down that shaft...eats the tiny ink pen spring, and **VIOLA** switch doesn't work any more.....
Unplug it...there's 2 tabs on the side that you pry with a flathead and the side cover will come off and it'll come right off the shaft...
You can buy one for $70 at the parts house, $6 million at the Ford Place, or $25 on ebay......my ebay one said it wouldn't fit my truck....only 7.3's, 6.0's, and 6.4's that have the manual.....obviously the clutch is identical....I bought it anyway and it works like a charm
Truck won't start without clutch depressed and my cruise works!! Woo hoo!
