Under the dash, there are 2 plunger-type switches that the clutch pedal arm acts on. The one that sits against the firewall is the safety switch. Only when you push the clutch pedal all the way to the floor will the plunger be depressed. To confirm the safety switch is bad, you can pull off the harness connector from the switch, and rig up a jumper wire on the connector to simulate a "closed" circuit, which is what the switch provides when depressed. (It may be tempting to leave it jumped this way, but don't do that because it allows the engine to turn over even if your foot is off the clutch pedal and if the transmission is in gear.)

How do you modify the clutch on a 1992 Honda Accord so that you do not have to depress the clutch when starting the car?

Bypass the clutch safety switch located under the dashboard. Note that his must entail more than simply unbolting the switch so that the cluch pedal does not actuate it. The safety switch signal is also used by the ECU to signal a clutch-disengaged condition. You will need to keep the switch with its original mechanical actuation by the pedal, but electrically separate the start safety function from the ECU function. Drew

Where is the Clutch Interlock Relay or Safety Switch for a 1992 Nissan Pathfinder and can you by pass it?

The clutch interlock switch is located under the dashboard and is similar if not identical to the brake light switch. you will find it where the clutch pedal extends to the furthest down position under the dash. It prevents you from starting the vehicle without depressing the clutch thus preventing starting up in gear, its a safety issue if someone is standing in front of you when you do it you will run them over, but if you need to just cross the wires.
