G Klasse issues Gear selection and cruise control

My 2005 Mercedes G Klasse with a gasoline engine has a fault. The gear selection isn't displayed, cruise control is inoperative, and the engine sometimes fails to start. Could a faulty clutch switch be the cause? I suspect a defective cable or plug connection. The estimated repair cost is 95€.

I see. I had a similar issue on my G Klasse. The symptoms you describe are quite indicative of a faulty clutch switch. Have you checked the switch itself for any physical damage or corrosion?

I have visually inspected the switch and the connections. I didn't observe any obvious damage or corrosion. Do you recall if the error code pointed specifically to the clutch switch?

As I recall, the error code was indeed related to the clutch switch circuit. If visual inspection yields nothing, I would suggest taking it to a workshop for a proper diagnostic. It is possible there is an internal fault within the switch itself.

Understood. I appreciate the confirmation. I will schedule a diagnostic check at a workshop. It is probably a faulty switch as suspected. I will let you know when the issue is resolved. Thank you again.
