p0833 check engine help
AWHILE AGO: my car started acting up, the cruise wouldn't work, and RPM's wouldn't drop when fully engaged clutch. I replaced the old Clutch Safety Switch. It went back to normal.
RECENTLY: My car will only work normal when I remove the battery harness, to allow the codes to clear from the ECM. The Codes eventually stack and stack p0833, until finally i get a check engine light. Its no way to drive a cobalt SS, very shifty.
WHAT TO DO:
I will Replace the bottom switch again tomorrow with a new one. 5 dollars from rockauto
I heard there is a second Switch ,the clutch position sensor, where do I buy this online?
Can i replace it myself, and then just remove the battery harnessed to clear any codes?
Please help.

The part number should be 22734989, thats pulling from another thread. Sounds like its near the steering column above the clutch pedal.

I already replaced this switch.
Is there a different switch up higher or something?

It couldn't be the same switch going bad in two weeks throwing the codes.
If I can get the codes to stop coming up I can drive normal again. Please help.

Just an update: I switched out the nuetral safety clutch switch with the old one and it does the same thing, so it works but my cruise still doesn't work. I have a feeling then that there is either A.) a problem with the connection to the ECM. B.) A fuse or something C.) I found out that loss of cruise control can sometimes be because of a blown out tail light or bulb. I will check all my brake lights tomorrow and hopefully I have some luck. Stay in touch.
