uh wtf, over?

i'd rather try and fix it then pay someone to...and my friends only works when he hits is brakes(auto trans) lol maybe its all the rain

Does it have the same issue even if the truck is/isn't running?

I'd start off by checking for a loose connection behind the radio, it's easy to take out.

After that maybe jerry rig the safety switch on the clutch so that it reads as always pressed in?

 

[407Link]

is there a good way to remove that switch or bypass it?
