How to bypass or jump clutch pedal start switch?

[larson]

Hey guys how do i bypass my start switch on my clutch pedal? Its starting to act up and id rather bypass it than replace it.

There should be two red wires with blue stripes. Connect those two wires and you should be good. You may try shimming the switch out first. I did this on mine because I had to absolutely bury the clutch pedal to start my truck. I used a 1.5” hole saw and cut discs out of a 5 gallon bucket lid (I have a nearly unlimited supply of 5 gallon bucket lids) I then cut a slit in them so I could slip them around the push rod between the switch and the master cylinder. For me 2 of these shims made me happy. It was a perfect balance between starting the truck and being able to kick the cruise control off.

The auto trans trucks have a plug. If you can find that unplug your switch and plug the new plug right in. On mine I just spliced the wires at the clutch.

Like @TNBrett said, there is two wires on the clutch safety switch. The best way to think of it, is like a toggle switch. One of those wires is the hot wire from the ignition, and the other goes to the fender mount relay (same wire), and the clutch safety switch is just an on and off switch. Pull those two wires and connect them together, and it will be bypassed.

I have used a paper clip in a pinch. Unbend it and shove the ends into to female end of the connector. It effectively ties the two wires together with the ability to easily undo it.

Just be careful. Because you can now start your truck in gear and the starter will move your truck.

I just use a mini ATC fuse. No cutting, splicing or any other harness violation... I can easily revert it back to factory if I wish to. Pull the fuse and plug it back into the switch. A switch that I don't have because prior morons tried to bypass it and failed epically... Cue the push button switch and appliance cord going to fender relay...

On my 97 I simply opened the switch and reversed the guts inside so I didn’t have to cut any wires or anything. I did it this way with the intention of replacing the switch but I liked the idea of not having to hold the clutch ( just needed to be sure I wasn’t in gear).

The vast majority of truck and equipment I have owned never had the safety switch. My 93 was always giving me problems so bypassed it.

For some reason, I don't like them myself and I always bypass them. The exception was the 1995 ****** that I bought brand new. I decided to leave it alone just in case.
