Clutch Pedal PSM / Cruise Switch. Porsche 996 / 986 Boxster / 987 Boxster / 987C Cayman / 997 1997-13  ❭  99661311402

Clutch Pedal PSM / Cruise Switch.
This clutch pedal switch sits behind the clutch pedal and communicates pedal position to the vehicle’s electrical systems. When the clutch pedal is depressed or released, it relays that signal to the starter, cruise control, PSM (Porsche Stability Management), and other relevant systems that depend on clutch position information. Designed to match the original part’s electrical characteristics, housing, and fitment, it installs into the factory mounting point without modification.

The clutch pedal switch ensures the vehicle can only be started when the clutch is depressed, enhances safety by providing input to cruise control and transmission logic, and informs stability and traction systems of clutch engagement status. A properly functioning switch prevents starter engagement unless conditions are safe and contributes to smooth operation of related vehicle functions.

Function:
As a microswitch mounted near the clutch pedal, this part closes and opens its contact in sync with pedal travel. That change in contact state is interpreted by the vehicle’s ECU and safety systems, enabling starter activation, cancelling cruise when appropriate, and helping ensure proper control logic throughout the driveline. Its OE-match design ensures consistent signal quality and long service life in typical operating environments.

A failed clutch pedal switch can prevent the engine from starting, inhibit cruise control function, trigger false warnings, or interfere with stability control inputs. Because it’s a safety-critical sensor tied to multiple control systems, replacing a worn, intermittent, or failed switch with an OE Match part ensures proper system response and restores reliable interface between the clutch and vehicle electronics.

When to replace:
•  Engine won’t start unless specific clutch pedal positions are met
•  Cruise control doesn’t engage or disengages unexpectedly
•  Clutch position signal feels intermittent or inconsistent
•  Dashboard warnings related to clutch/safety logic
•  During clutch or pedal assembly service
