KarnaughAtlas 04-08-2013 12:17 PM  Danger in bypassing clutch
start switch? Hi everyone,  I want to do two things to my truck:
1) Remove the clutch start cancel switch to make room for my own
switch (all the other blanks are taken).  2) Bypass the clutch
start switch that requires the clutch pedal to be pressed down
before the engine will start. From what I've read, this can be
done with a simple piece of wire to short the harness that plugs
into the clutch pedal.  I don't like 'idiot-proof' designs. If I
want to be an idiot and break my truck I will damn well do it,
so I want the freedom of being able to start my truck with the
clutch engaged without the need to press an idiot-proof button.
On the other hand, I've also read that starting your engine
without the clutch pedal depressed can cause damage to your
starter - something about there
