I believe you only use 2 terminals. Its more or less a generic microswitch with a Common pin and the other 2 are Normally Open and Normally Closed.
Not 100% sure but I'm thinking you'd want to use the Common and the Normally Open pin. That way the clutch pedal would keep the switch closed and then open (break) the circuit when you press in the clutch.Bean Jr. Thanks this. -
Ok thank you I’ll try it. Are these wires supposed to be grounds or hot wires also? Never had to fight this problem so I’m all confused
-
That, unfortunately, I can't answer. I haven't wrenched on trucks in several years so I don't remember.
-
I appreciate the help

It’s mainly just a switch in series that interrupts the completed circuit to shut the Jake off... if that makes any sense to you?
With out a schematic I believe the way @AModelCat said to wire the switch makes perfect sense and I would start with that. -
Many will try to help you here. -
@AModelCat and @Hulld finally found the time to mess with the wiring on the clutch switch in between work and rebuilding a cat motor. Plugged common up and norm open started the truck still no power to cruise or jakes but then the truck would not shut off. So then I plugged norm open to just open and truck shut off I’m at a loss here

I think you probably ought to check the speed sensors on rear of transmission
