How can bypass the clutch switch to see if it is broken? Popped the clutch now I can not keep it running. May have broken sometime inside it. It still making contact. I KNOW THIS IS A SAFETY DEVICE!!! Just want To see if it is the problem and not have to wait on it to get here(no store around here has them, have to order)Thanks for any help

Disconnect the switch and connect the two wires. Done.

But there are 4 wires going in to the switch

Bump on this. I am trying to find the same info on my 05 cts-v, i believe the clutch safety switch has gone bad. Car does the same thing disconnected or connected, will not crank when key is turned. Fuel pump is running and all other functions are normal. Car does have a 4 wire switch.

He was probably looking at the wrong switch. There are only 2 wires going to it, and the switch simply completes the circuit. So just short the 2 pins to bypass it.

EDIT: That's for an F-body, not sure about a CTS.
