Please help w/Cruise Control

[el gato]

I could have sworn that when I bought my stang that the cruise control disengaged upon putting in the clutch. Now it just revs up when I hit the clutch. I took it to the dealer and they checked some wiring diagram and state that it's not suppose to disengage with the clutch. I didn't buy it, and didn't think to look in my owner's manual until after I got home. Page 47 clearly states that 2 of the ways to disengage the CC is to tap on the brake or the clutch. Surely this is a safety feature that Ford did not leave out.
What can I tell the dealer when I take it back, short of, what are you an idiot? Any technical feedback you can give me to give them would be appreciated.

I guess just show them the manual. As far as I know, the cruise should disengage on clutch/brake action. My other car had this feature and did disengage on clutch.

Both of my Mustangs were set up that when you pressed the clutch the CC would disengage. I know because I did just that last night.
Take it to another place and have them look at it. Could even be the switch (if there is one) on the clutch pedal. Does it disengage when you step on the brake?

Yup....it disengages with the brake and the off button....just doesn't do it with the the clutch...I guess i could take it to another dealer and let them get the $$ on the warranty work. Although taking it back to the original dealer might be a little more satisfying, especially when I show them the manual and when they finally realize that they're WRONG.

It's called a Clutch cutoff switch. 2 Light Green wires go into it. Cuts the voltage to the speed control servo when your clutch is pressed down, shuting off the cruise. Now this is not to be confused with the Clutch pedal position switch. Wires on this one are RD/LB and WH/PK. I can't believe your dealer couldn't figure this out . If your car is still under warranty, try another dealer, if warranty is up, part isn't that expensive. Good luck.

I have owned 3 mustang 5.0's and the engine revs when I would press in the clutch. I even bought one new and it did it. My 94 that I have now revs and it did that since I purchased it at 33k.
