clutch switch replacement question

[immerschnell]

I am planning to replace the defective aspects of this system because of recent error messages I am starting to get.  

 

I see there are two parts possible to use:  1.) a clutch pedal switch (red), and 2.) a clutch pedal ignition lock switch (white).

 

Must I replace always both, or is one usually the culprit in this failure mode?

 

Thanks

Should be easy to test (out of the circuit) with an ohm meter.

Open = infinite ohms. Closed = zero ohms. Anything else or intermittent is a bad switch.

OK, thanks,

actually someone else recommended a jump between it to prevent it in general, of course deactivating the system entirely, which some may find a safety issue with it not in neutral, but aside from that, what is the procedure to do this and how to if so?

Just unplug the two wires on the start lock microswitch and then connect the two wires with a jumper.
