Captur Clutch Pedal Switch Issue

That sounds frustrating! I had a similar issue with my old BMW 3 Series, although the symptoms weren't quite identical. My problem turned out to be a faulty sensor on the clutch pedal – like a light switch that got stuck. The car thought the clutch wasn't engaged, so it wouldn't let me start it sometimes. Could be worth checking if yours is sending the correct signal. Is there any chance the car doesn't know when the clutch is fully pressed?

Interesting analogy! Thanks for the tip. When you say 'sending the correct signal,' do you mean testing the voltage at the plug, or is there another way to check that? I have a multimeter, so I can measure voltage and resistance. Could you provide more details on how to troubleshoot?

Yes, exactly! Checking the voltage at the plug is a good starting point. I'm not an expert, but if the voltage is erratic or zero when the pedal is pressed, that's a clue. Honestly, if you're not completely comfortable with electrical diagnostics, and given the symptoms involve safety systems like cruise control and starting, it might be wise to get it checked by a workshop. It's like trying to fix a leaky pipe – sometimes it's best to call a plumber!

Thanks a lot for your input and the confirmation. I appreciate your assessment. I followed your advice and took it to a workshop. You were spot on: the clutch pedal switch was indeed faulty. They replaced it, and all the issues are now resolved. Thanks again!
