Default Bypassing the clutch switch

To bypass the clutch swith do I just take the thick yellow and purple wire out of this harness and splice them together??

I thought I could just wire the white connector thats hanging down together and that would do it. Keep in mind I am color blind and having the typical No Crank issue with a fully charged battery. Any help would be appreciated.

I borrowed these pics from LGAFF and it looks like he just cut the yellow and purple wire out of the connector and spliced them together.. is that all it takes?

Yup, change your relays while you are in there too

LGAFF, thanks for the quick reply. What does the white connector hanging down do then, because it looks like it has a plunger that tells when he clutch is pressed as well.

Now just be sure to press the clutch in whenever you start it....there are relays below the steering wheel you may want to change, one of those will sometimes also stop the car from starting when its bad

The actual relays are facing the firewall....the backside of the relay box is what you will see facign you. You must reach around the back to pull them...

Yup, I saw them.. barely, but I can see them.. and I have never owned and automatic, so my foot is always on the clutch at start up, with Emergency brake on.. just the way I was taught
