clutch safety switch...

Has anyone replaced their clutch safety switch?

If so, did your car start when the safety switch was bad?

I can start my car without depressing the clutch. And my cruise control doesn't work either. So I'm thinking these two problems are related.

When my switch went bad the car wouldn't start so I bypassed the switch.

How did you bypassed the switch?

My car starts w/out pressing the clutch. Maybe the previous owner bypassed the safety switch. I checked the switch and it doesn't seem bypassed (it's still connected to the harness).

The previous owner also had the clutch replaced as well.

I don't know, I'm lost.

I cut the switch off and wired up the two wires together.
Your switch could be bad, stuck closed. Mine was stuck open.
