Strada clutch switch issue

Hello, I'm having a strange issue with my 2014 Fiat Strada with a gasoline engine. It has about 49442 km on it. I'm getting an error stored, the gear selection display in the speedometer isn't working, the cruise control is completely unresponsive, and sometimes the engine refuses to start. I've checked the usual suspects and I suspect it might be related to a faulty clutch pedal switch, possibly a defective cable or plug connection. Has anyone experienced something similar?

I had something like that happen with my Strada. The symptoms sound familiar, especially the starting issue and cruise control. Does it feel like the car is stalling sometimes, like it's not getting a signal that the clutch is engaged?

Yes, exactly! Sometimes it feels like it wants to stall when I'm shifting, and the starting problem is intermittent. Could you tell me more about what you did to fix it?

Okay, so mine was definitely the clutch switch. Honestly, I didn't mess with it myself. I just took it to a workshop. Replacing or repairing any wiring problems in switches can be pretty tricky, and if it's not done right, it can be a safety issue. Better to play it safe, I reckon.

Thanks a lot for the confirmation. I suspected it was the switch, but your experience makes me more confident in getting it checked out by a professional. I'll take it to a workshop as well. The estimated repair cost I received was around 95€, so hopefully that will be the final price. Thanks again for your help!
