Title: Wiring diagram for clutch safety switch needed
Post by: Warez on 25 December 2007, 11:46:40
Just wondering if anyone could post the wiring diagram for the clutch safety switch. The Catera only came with an automatic so this is not in my service manual and I need this info for my conversion.

Thanks in advance :y

I presume that in the good ol' US of A that you mean the clutch needs to be pressed before the car will start.
Do we have the same  'safety system' on the Omega in the UK? I can start my Atra G  estate/station wagon without dipping the clutch. (http://www.mietwagenbulgarien.com/cars/astra1.jpg)

Yup that's what I need.

From reading a few threads of people converting from autos to manuals, I do know for a fact that the clutch pedal has some kind of switch attached to it. So I presume that the European Omega's came with the safety switch that would interrupt the engine from starting should the clutch pedal not be depressed.

There's one to dis-engage the cruise control when you dip the clutch.

Clutch switch is only used by the cruise control and sits in series the with the cruise related brake switch contacts.
