starting/clutch sensor(relay?)

Help,98 mazda B2500 (really a ranger), if you try to start the truck without the clutch in dashboard instrument lights come on but won't start, so one has to depress the clutch, well rescently mine acts like I don't have the clutch depressed (although I do). lights come on, but nno start. I don't hear any clicking noise, I know theres a safety relay on the clutch rod down by the pedal. I've tried bypassing but haven't any luck. any help would be great. thanks

Hi swcejk, welcome to FTE!

I don't have a clutch in my Ranger so it is hard for me to picture it, but I know you must have a clutch pedal position switch. Did you check the fuse that controls that circuit? I'm pretty sure it has it's own fuse.
