Hi guys,
I could not start my car, but noticed the click from the clutch safety switch was absent.
I reached under the clutch pedal and saw the micro switch was loose and so I activated the switch with my hand and turned the starter. It worked.
The switch seems to have spun around and is loose. I can't seem to figure out how it is fastened since it is very tight in there.
Does any one have a diagram of how this mounts and gets tight in the correct position ?
any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Elliot

OTOH, I'm lazy and don't bend like I used to and getting upside down under a dash is no longer that easy for me anymore, so when I needed a switch replaced in my Boxster when I took the car in for something else I asked the tech if he would mind replacing the switch. He didn't mind and there was no labor charge. I bought the switch from that dealer's parts department though.
Sincerely,
Macster.
