Argo clutch pedal switch issues

Hi, I have a 2020 Fiat Argo with a gasoline engine and 203798 km on the clock. I'm experiencing issues that seem related to the clutch pedal switch. I'm getting an error stored in the error memory, the gear selection isn't displaying in the speedometer, cruise control is non-functional and sometimes the engine won't even start. I suspect a defective cable or plug connection to the component. Has anyone else encountered this?

A 2020 Fiat Argo owner experienced issues likely related to the clutch pedal switch, including error messages, non-functional gear display, cruise control, and starting problems. The suspected cause was a defective cable or plug connection. After a visual inspection showed no obvious damage, professional diagnosis at a workshop confirmed a faulty connection, which was repaired, resolving the issues.

Did this summary help you solve your problem?

It sounds like a faulty clutch pedal switch could indeed be the culprit, given the symptoms you're describing. The switch plays a role in several systems, including the gear selector display and the cruise control functionality, as well as acting as a safety mechanism for starting the engine. Have you checked the wiring and connector for any obvious signs of damage or corrosion?

Thanks for the quick response. I've visually inspected the wiring and connector near the switch, but didn't see anything obvious. Is there a specific way to test the switch or connector to confirm the diagnosis before I replace it?

While a multimeter can be used to test the switch for continuity, given the complexity of the integrated systems and potential for further electrical fault, I would advise having a workshop professionally diagnose the issue. This will help to properly confirm the defect and prevent accidental damage. In the long run, it will likely save you time and potential further expense.

Understood, thank you for your advice. I took it to the workshop, and it turned out to be a faulty connection as suspected. Repair cost was 95€. Everything's working normally again.
