Onsit O So a while back I installed some gauges, and ran the wiring through the wheel well, tapped fuses with fuse taps. Gauges work great, except hill assist light is always on (means its disabled) and Cruise Control no longer works. Obvious VDC issue, running the codes through the dash I get the output of all irrelevant codes (can bus failure, vdc failure) and C0076 which is a Clutch Sensor failure. So I can take it to the dealership so they do a "diagnostic" for $95, which doesn't mean fixing it, just running through 3 steps on the Service Manual. I am a bit lost on how to diagnosis this issue. I looked under and the little clutch plunger fully actuates, and the car starts just fine when the clutch is depressed. So one of the clutch sensors works for the ignition. I suppose the other sensor that detects engagement for Cruise Control decided to either go out or get unhooked. So I need to either figure out where to check for this sensor, and where to order it. Screw the dealership... Any help with the part number, or a picture of the culprit that detects clutch engagement for Cruise Control?'

Problem is I have an 8hour trip soon, and would prefer to have Cruise Control. #4 · Jun 5, 2012 http://parts.subaru.com/parts/2011/SUBARU/IMPREZA/WRX/?siteid=216372&vehicleid=1446521&section=ELECTRICAL&group=CHASSIS%20ELECTRICAL&subgroup=SWITCHES&component=CLUTCH%20SWITCH Does that help? It only shows one switch. I don't what is looks like, or if the "safety" switch is a different part. I would assume they are the same, just different place to plug in?? #5 · Jun 5, 2012 Seems like 2 different switches, 1 is blue the other is black! Man this is frustrating! #6 · Jun 5, 2012 Any pics of this switch? #7 · Jun 5, 2012 Phone has terrible flash. If you stick your head under and look up. Youll see 1 sensor which allows ignition, the safety switch this is the bottom on. The top switch is the VDC cruise control sensor. Insert Quotes Post Reply
