I tapped the switch and it worked for 10 seconds then died again. Did that a couple of times until it tottaly died. Read online about this issue until someone said somrthing i dont remember he mentioned engine break i flipped the engine break and it stopped working too. Truck is a 98 fld n14

    Yes. Check out the switch on your clutch pedal. You may be able to adjust something. If not, replace the switch. Easy fix.

    Sometimes you can just bend the switch contact down a bit if the spring is getting weak, not rocket science.
