What do you mean bridging out the switch?

I assume this is the same switch that will not allow you to start the car without the clutch pedal pressed?

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.
