    hi i have very weird problem with this truck the cruise and Jake's quit working after a bit so im sure the fix is the clutch switch but also this problem seems to be over riding the speed limiter some how just got the truck 300000 on the OD so do you guys think the previous driver found some way to do this or is it just a side affect of the switch being out. because even when the cruise is working the govern seems to be bypassed to a point im not going into detail on how this has been done cause if this works i don't want some steering wheel holder knowing how to turn their truck up i see how some of the wires on my truck my or may not have been rerouted but not conclusive that this is tampering or not. So what im asking is there a way to directly bypass the clutch switch and give separate power to the Jake's and maybe the cruise with out effecting the setting on the speed limiter thanks in advanced. ONCE AGAIN DONT ASK ME HOW THE SPEED LIMITER HAS BEEN OVER RIDDEN IM NOT SURE IF IT IS AND WHEN I DO FIND OUT IF IT WAS IM STILL NOT GOING TO TELL ANYONE HOW TO !!!!! THOSE THINGS KEEP SOME ROOKIE FROM SPEEDING UP THEIR OWN SELF DESTRUCTION

    All it is, is the clutch pedal return spring.

    There's a spring that pulls the clutch pedal all the way up, which closes a micro switch, When that microswitch is open jakes and cruise won't work..

    Try pulling the pedal up with your foot and turning the cruise on.

    $10 please. Nice meltdown also.

    Putting both wires together overuses safety switch until you can change it. Done that more than onceBad switch causes cruise and Jakes to not work properly. Need to use proper amount of washers in new kit sometimes more or less. Otherwise don’t know about overiding set top speeds as that’s all in ecm settings. Maybe I’m misunderstanding your question?
