i have a 1988 ford f150 4x4 with a 5.0-liter engine and a 5 spd manual the clutch switch doesn't work. to start it i have to jump it out at the solenoid and that gets annoying. i bought a clutch switch and looked under the dash by the clutch pedal and cannot find it anywhere. someone told me it was on the side next to the throttle pedal. i haven't seen it there yet but it was getting dark and the home was 80 miles away. it is at my fathers' house right now and i am planning on going up there soon. i bought it for driving in the snow but we haven't had more than an inch yet so it hasn't been a priority. i think i got the high idle figured out and i think i got the seat fixed until i put it back in. i only paid 100 dollars for it and so far i have spent that much in parts.

 

It should be above the accelerator pedal, where the clutch rod goes through the firewall. Usually what happens is the nylon/plastic bushings wear out at the inside linkage, and the switch is not able to be pushed in enough to make contact. Do you have a lot of play in the clutch pedal? Most parts stores keep these bushings in stock.

 

Go on youtube and type in 88 f150 clutch switch location, then you can see for yourself the exact location
