Default neutral safety switch

im guessing thats what its called, the switch in the clutch pedal that wont let you crank the truck unless depressed, can you bypass it? i think mine is messed up, i used to hear the click when fully depressed, now i cant hear it and sometimes i hit the key and nothing, so i start letting up and pushing down a few times to get it to work. any ideas?

You can bypass that easily.. just wire up a switch, under the dash, and flip it and leave it on, so you can start the truck anytime.. but when you dont want noone to start it.. flip it off.. and unless they know about the switch, they cant start your truck!
