This car has 2 clutch pedal switches. The one I was referring to above the clutch pedal and a 2nd one way above the right side of the brake pedal. The 2nd one is the inline one that allows current to the starter solenoid. The linkage doesn't 'push' the plunger so much as it slides over it like a ramp. This wore the plunger end down and required a readjustment (after taking it out and checking the switch). Now I have continuity from ignition to starter. Will try starting tomorrow.
So...... what does the other switch do?
the EXTRA switch may be for cruise. option there or not.
do know all susuki' had lots of option, and permutations of them and for sure not 1 harness for each, (lots yes but not all)
so some thing here are , ghost connectors. lots. (like rear window wasters and wiper) and lots more. (cruise model,etc)
all cars ive seen Sidekick here, the clutch switch has nut to calibrate, it. it is normal service check.
if no fear of starting in gear, by pass it, I made up a bypass kit for mine and stored it in my glove box. so as not to ever be stranded ever, for such a silly switch./
all my other older cars , from the early 60s/ came new with no clutch switch.at all, (a drivers skill get in car, put shifter in neutral was the rage then,grin. )
ever read the news of women driving over kids in the drive way? yeah there is that. (and park lockout for a/t)
good luck and for sure this is a FEATURE that has failed and makes started dead by design.
cheers to you !
