    well my truck has a 5 speed,2.4 ltr engine 2wd, manual.. do not know what a clutch switch is.. all I know is a few years ago something like this happened and it was the ignition switch.. but not sure whats going on? all the headlights and tail lights and bell for seatbelt rings but no radio,heater,dash lights nothing and key goes in but absolutely no sounds.. nothing.. and its a 1996 have had this since 1998 and am hoping its an easy fix.. and affordable as I love my toy

    It's on the clutch pedal bracket, the clutch pedal should depress it when it's depressed.
