This may sound stupid, but this is what happened to me. I have only heard guys complaining that the car will not start with a bad switch. My car starts all the time, however, the last time I took it in for an oil change the mechanic turned the key over with the car IN GEAR without depressing the clutch and the car lurched forward. He said I had a bad safety switch. I always start the car in neutral and depress the clutch. I assume the switch is to prevent the car from starting in gear. Mine still starts even in gear if you depress the clutch or not. So, do I have a bad switch? Like I said, stupid question.
