ABSTRACT:
A method of assembling a motor vehicle in which a multicontact switch is provided on the input rod of the master cylinder of a prefilled master and slave cylinder hydraulic apparatus; the master cylinder is positioned in the engine compartment of a vehicle and the input rod, with the switch mounted thereon, is passed from the engine compartment through an aperture in the firewall of the vehicle to position the input rod and switch in the passenger compartment of the vehicle and position the master cylinder housing adjacent the fire wall; the master cylinder is secured to the fire wall; and the plug of a wiring harness including several electrical vehicle circuits is plugged into a multiple contact outlet socket on the switch so as to provide a plurality of electrical control systems for the vehicle respectively controlled by the contacts of the switch. For example, the switch contacts may control a cruise control disconnect circuit, an electronic fuel injection circuit, and an ignition interlock circuit. As the input rod of the master cylinder is stroked in response to operator depression of the clutch pedal, the clutch of the vehicle is actuated and the several electrical vehicle circuits are simultaneously and successively activated or deactivated as the input rod goes through its stroking movement with respect to the housing of the master cylinder.
