TJ clutch switch
« on: December 12, 2010, 12:04:09 PM »
I believe my clutch switch is starting to go.  I have had a few instances in recent weeks when the TJ won't start.   

I've been reading that it can be by passed. So..what's better to do? By pass or replace?

I bypassed mine... love it!! Don't have to worry about it not starting because I am unable to depress the clutch down far enough when my nose is aimed skyward.

Isn't there a fuse you either remove or install on the TJ's to bypass the clutch interlock?

In my old TJ I put the fuse in the auto trans slot to bypass the need for the clutch switch...worked like a dream.

Bypass it is!   I've read that by adding the fuse to fuse block to bypass, the 4x4 light always stays on.   Going to try it with a spare fuse to see if that happens and if it does I'll just put the wires together at the switch.

Put a 20amp fuse in the "auto trans" outlet behind the glove box. Problem solved.

Just an FYI,

The fuse trick does not work on 2005-6 Rubicons.   >:(
When you shift into 4 lo it's automatically bypassed.

Mine's an 04 Rubi.   20 Amp fuse works great!  No lights on the dash.  Just have remember to take it out of gear before starting up  8)
