Car sensing clutch fully engaged when its not//
 
Hey guys,

So I'm having an issue recently developed where the car thinks I have the clutch fully engaged any time my key fob comes near the car and allows me to turn the engine on without pressing the clutch. I cant get into accessory or ON position without starting the car any more. The key fob light is lit solid green on the dash when I'm in it and the push to start is always red. I have done the clutch spring removal as well as the clutch adjustment to level the clutch pedal with the brake maybe slightly higher and made sure to adjust the sensor in the correct manner

Just my thoughts on the issue; I don't think the spring is at fault cause it puts force on the pedal at full engage or full disengage regions only. I pushed the pedal back with my hands as far as possible and it still senses the clutch is engaged so I don't think its related. This also started happening yesterday and I had the spring removed a few days earlier without issue. I've done clutch adjustments nearly daily but made sure to have the sensor positioned perfectly so I also do not see it as being the issue

Any help would be greatly appreciated :cheers:

Edit: found the solution to this if anyone else is experiencing the same problem; There's a black sensor which gets pushed in when clutch is fully depressed and for me it started to jam and hold on giving the signal the clutch was depressed. The sensor jams when pressed in too far so adjusting it further back with a 14 mm wrench will fix the problem!

My guess is that there's a pressure switch somewhere, like the brake switch, which is dislodged or not adjusted correctly.
