    Falcon Clutch Switch
    Where can I get a cheap Clutch switch for my 97 falcon.
    Ford Charge $215 for it.
    Is it the same as the Brake Switch.
    I know the mounting is different but if I modify the bracket will it work.

    Regardless which model you drive, the switches are very different.
    Modifying one to function like the other isn't likely possible.
    By-passing the switch in an emergency will get the car going, but effectively by-passes a critical safety feature.
    I would continue shopping around for the proper switch. Surely, an aftermarket source should have these for your vehicle.

    All the switch does is disengage the cruise control when clutch is presses. With no switch the Cruise control doesn't work.
    The only difference I can see in the two switches are the mounting method. They work the same.
