2012 Ford Focus mk3 clutch sensor issues
Discussion
Evening all.
I’m hoping I can get some help from you. I recently had my clutch master cylinder replaced as the plastic shaft snapped. But now I’m having a few common issues from what I’ve read.
The car will now only start when I press the clutch and brake pedal. There’s no more stop/start, no hill start assist, no cruise control, the car no longer tells you when to change up gear and the revs rise when you’re changing gear (which makes the ride now very jerky changing gear)
I’ve tested both switches on the clutch pedal with a mates OBD reader and the live data shows that the top switch is reading when you push the pedal down, but nothing for the bottom switch.
Now I’ve done some investigating and there is 13V dc at the plug and the earth is good. I’ve also belled out the switch and that also seems to be working. I’ve also by passed the switch with some cable but the car still won’t start without the clutch AND brake pedal depressed. Any ideas folks? I’ve just replaced the top switch (bottom switch on order) Is the switch a simple on/off switch or does it measure resistance? It’s starting to do my head in.
