Yes, usual issue is either one of the switches on the brake or clutch pedal.

Most common is the clutch as it has the most use/punishment.

Where are those switches located?

Top of the pedals

DutchV40 · Oct 31st, 2007, 15:24

You mean where your shoes touch the pedals?

Follow the pedals upwards. The switches are there.
