    I am having to push my clutch several times to get the truck to start so I'm assuming the safety switch is going bad my question is there a way to bypass that switch if it quits working completely before I get the truck into a shop?

    This was a known issue and if I remember correctly there was a bulletin put out to pinpoint the exact failure as there were other issues related to this complaint. As far aw bypassing I'm not sure as the truck "reads" top of clutch stroke and bottom of stroke.

    that safety switch is going bad because of Chinese micro switch quality. actually there are two micro switches , one for starter and one for cruise. if you have multimeter and electric knowledge you can cut a wires short them together and start the engine.

    I noticed the same thing after a clutch adjustment. Before adjustment great no problem. After adjustment issues.
