Facet 7.1220 is used in the clutch-start circuit to help ensure the vehicle starts only when the clutch pedal switch is engaged. For Audi A4 and Volkswagen Golf applications, this switch is selected for vehicles that rely on a clutch interlock signal rather than a neutral-position starter input. This part number, 7.1220, is a practical replacement for diagnosing no-crank conditions tied to the starter safety circuit.

• No-crank condition related to clutch pedal switch input
• Starter engages only intermittently when the clutch is pressed
• Fault codes or warning behavior tied to the starter interlock circuit
• Starting issues on manual-transmission Audi A4, Audi S4, or Volkswagen Golf models
• Worn or failed clutch starter safety switch

Installation Notes and Tips
