Clutch switch wires??

Does anyone know what the power and ground wires are for the clutch switch to jump it. I relaced the dam thing and I still have to put the clutch through the floor for it to catch. I figure I'll just wire a switch to the wires. Any help would be great.

That's a safety switch that allows your Starter to engage after you depress the clutch pedal.

Personally, I wouldn't bypass it. It servers a usefully purpose. Keeps you from starting the truck while it's IN GEAR!

Sounds like the mount needs adjusted.

I agree with katmandu, but if you need to git it home to make the proper adjusments, try the two red wires.

You know what?? I have the same truck F250 in the 90 year model but If you look right by the gas pedal you will see a lever and a pin that comes out that connects to the lever and it will move if you move the pedal fore and aft. Between the clutch pin you should have a plastic bushing in between. Mine when I bought it... wore away. This may be you problem also. I went to ford and they gave me a pin... wrong size but it worked. You might not be so lucky and you might have to replace your slave cylinder. That pin if you can get one from the junk yard is a pain in the @$$ to replace. There are 3 pins holding it in place inside the clutch slave. More than likely your clutch safety switch is fine. In my case that was the culprit.
