When I first started noticing a clutch pedal safety-switch in an old vehicle I had bought, it had two wires and was easy to bypass when needed, and then return it to its normal function afterwards.

My '94 F-150 has an obvious clutch-pedal switch on the arm of the pedal, and I am reluctant to "experiment" because the socket to the harness has quite a few wires going into it. It is easy to "unplug", but that does not allow the starter to be turned over with the transmission in gear.

I thought I'd check here first to see if there is a solution already on record...
