Ok, I know you talked about this a while ago, but I just bought my 14 prostar. I did this quick fix just like you said and now my check engine light is on. Got any idea as to why?

Ok, I know you talked about this a while ago but I just got this 14 prostar and wanted to be able to start it without putting my foot in the radiator. So, I followed your easy directions, got it all fixed up, but my check engine light is now on. Have any idea as to why?

What exactly did you do?

Yeah, those two wires have no interaction other than what I previously stated. Must be something else. Did you have the key on with anything disconnected or unplugged?

MY 2009 Prostar/ Cummins alao required pushing the clutch pedal though the floor board to get any starter action. The square black magnetic switch box embeded in the clutch pedal support bracket must get a fraction t[ far from the parallel metal side of the actual clutch pedal when depressed. Maybe eve requiring enough force to bend the pedal arm slightly closer.
Now the fix I came up with requires removing the lower kick panel as others have said. Its all out in the open to insert a 3/4" to maybe an inch fender washer (the thinner the better) against the magnetic switch face.
That closes the contacts within the switch (which apparently all the straining and pushing of the clutch pedal would barely ever do)
Remember that there is nothing that prevents starting with the manual transmission in gear. -
International is the only brand I've seen that makes you push in the clutch to start it. Never seen that garbage on a KW or a Star.
Heavyd Thanks this. -
My 2015 International Prostate won't start. It is reading Electrical Fault. I changed the batteries, the starter and the alternator. Amps are good. What is wrong with it? How can I get it started?
