Hmm. I wasn't really suggesting that you remove the switch, but rather test it for proper operation as it's a potential cause of the fault. I haven't looked closely at the switch, but it's either opening or closing a circuit that acts as a safety interlock to prevent the car from starting without the clutch being engaged. It should be possible to see if the circuit is open or closed with the clutch disengaged, and then see if the status (open/closed) changes with the clutch depressed. If the status doesn't change then that may have identified the fault. It's just one of the potential causes that need to be ruled out.
