Clutch switch

Started my car for the first time in five months today. It started up great! Unfortunately, the clutch switch seems to be dead. It's intermittant, at least, and I think it's truely dead now. Anyone with quick instructions on how to fix it?

clutch switch? You mean the sensor that says "ok the clutch is depressed, it's ok to start the engine"?

I don't think it serves any purpose other than that and to disengage the cruise control.

Yes, that's what I mean. I'm a little confused also as to why this thread posted twice... the forum had some trouble at that time. But, yes, the switch on the back of the clutch that tells the car that it is indeed depressed.
