Question Turning the car on w/o depressing the clutch

Basically what the title says, turning the car on w/o depressing the clutch. I know it a sensor or fuse that keeps it from not cranking. Has anyone done this and are there any draw backs?

One more question, is there a way to manually turn off the check engine light?

I had that switch under the clutch removed 3 years ago.

Oh ok, It simply a switch (like brakes), I thought it was more complicated than that. How do you like it. Do you ever forget it in gear or anything?

I have a push button start. Since my drivers side lock is broken and I have to reach through the passanger door to unlock the drivers side, i usually turn the car on while im at it. No clutch required.
