Seat Leon clutch pedal switch issue

Alright, I'm officially stumped. My 2019 Seat Leon with a diesel engine is throwing a fit. It's flagging a clutch pedal switch error in the memory. The gear selection display on the speedometer is dead, cruise control is a no-go, and sometimes it just refuses to start. I'm guessing it's a dodgy cable or plug on the switch itself, acting like a safety switch is permanently off. Anyone else seen this weird combo of issues before?

Sounds like a faulty clutch switch to me. I had a similar issue with my Leon. Does the car recognize when the clutch pedal is depressed at all?

Interesting! When you say similar, do you mean the exact same symptoms? Because it's really odd that the gear selection isn't showing on the dash and the cruise control packed it in at the same time. Plus, it struggles to start sometimes, like it doesn't know the clutch is down. Did yours do all that?

Yep, pretty much the same deal. Gear selection gone, cruise control dead, occasional car starting drama. I'd still get it checked by a workshop, just to be sure. But it really sounds like the switch.

Huge thanks for the insight! It was indeed the clutch pedal switch. I cleaned the contacts on the cable and plug, and everything sprang back to life. Saved myself a trip to the shop and 95€!
