Correct.
As we don't have these switches fitted to Australian delivered cars, its difficult for me to technically appraise it, but I would imagine that it is a 2 wire switch mounted adjacent to the clutch pedal. It will have a toggle that either pushes in or springs out when the clutch pedal is actuated.
Make sure the toggle operates correctly by disconnecting the wires and putting a multimeter across the terminals to see if it is switching.
I'm sure somebody on here can tell you if you either A) disconnect the 2 wires permanently or B) connect them together permanantly to bypass the switch.
