I am not sure as I don’t have much experience with the kw t680.
I would go to the dealer and have them look up the clutch switch and they should have an exploded view showing where it is located.

So doing this does it make it to where the clutch switch doesn't work anymore. So let's say I push the clutch will it still turn off cruise and jake brake?
-
Clutch switch will operate as normal with cruise or Jake brake On.
-
I just got it installed. I hope it works will find out in a bit lol
Hulld Thanks this. -
One think to note.
If you find your cruise control not working suddenly it’s probably because you left the switch on the easy Jake turned off. -
Well it works good enough. I dont knownif its because I'm in a t680 or I wired the wrong side. But when I flip the switch it will cut off the cruise and jake. But I have to flip it back for the jake to come on. Im ok with it honestlyHulld Thanks this.
-
Yes
That is normal operation -
2013 Freightliner Cascadia - 3 Wires, Red, Green and Black. I cut the Green Wire (middle), spliced it to the 2 wires for the Easy Jake. While it's not a perfect fix, it does interrupt the cruise control and jake brake. As an example, I had cruise control set, jake brake on. I flip the switch, cruise disengages, flip the switch back and the jake comes on. This allows me to use the jake periodically while in traffic. Hope this helps.

Do you have schematic of some sort showing exactly how you wired this? Having a hard time understanding if you spliced any wires or just tapped in to the wires. Thanks

Here’s a picture of a very rough diagram to help you understand.
It basically puts the easy Jake switch in series circuit with the clutch switch.
