Clutch safety switch

How do I bypass the clutch switch? I have a no start on a 99 Ranger and want to check this before anything else. It has 5 wires on the plug,which ones do I jump?

You need to look at the start circuit wiring diagram. Odds are it's wired like this:

Ignition switch to an interior fuse

Interior fuse wired to the anti theft relay

Anti theft relay wired to the starter relay.

The fuse is probably shown in your owners manual as the "anti theft relay fuse".

Make sure it's not blown.

Not likely but it could also be a bad relay.

What year? What model? Is this a 'no start' or a 'no crank'?
