While I would never bypass the switch (cya)
It is dangerous in that it's conceivable someone by accident
(or on purpose to set up a suit) could claim that GM installed
this device to preclude an accidental crushing of someone's
leg or cause the car to lurch out in traffic etc etc.
And then by intentional negligence it was circumvented.
There is a big difference in negligence and intentional negligence.
A REAL BIG DIFFERENCE.
Imagine the worst case scenario. A child (maybe a grandchild) is in
the car somehow (got in without permission). The child sees the key and puts in in and turns it. The car is pushed into first gear and offers little resistance to movement and there for runs over and crushes a neighbor
kid. The neighbor kid's parent is a knowledgeable lawyer........
The stage is set to loose everything you own not to mention the grief anyone would have for being responsible.
Like I posted earlier the chances of happening are VERY remote.
But then why store gas next to a furnace?

Having said my position. I do acknowledge we all have the right to do changes to our car that we feel make it better.
I'm done with this thread.
Long live the ZR-1.

Thanks for your suggestions. I agree the Safety Switch is for Safety. I bypassed the S/S and problem went away, but I am waiting for a new switch to be delivered. Better to be safe than sorry.

Where exactly did you find the switch if you dont mind me asking?I spent more than a year looking for one and stumbled on a new one on Fleabay about 2 months ago.

I was informed by ZIP Corvette Parts that they would be receiving new ones in 2 months. I recently phoned to inquire if this was indeed correct and informed No it wasn't that they won't be getting new Safety Switch's for a manual transmission. Guess I will have to look again to obtain one myself. CHEERS!

GM redesigned this ckt in the 92 MY. Any one have a manual that deplicts the changes. It might be easier to convert to that setup. I suspect its some kind of relay configuration (which could give us the 'correct' relay to use.)

Yes as memory servers the newer design draws less current though those contacts. However, if you remember to stat the car with the clutch peddle pressed in all the way the contacts do not arch and last indefinitely. Oh and of course leave the key turned a bit longer than you would other cars after start to avoid having the MAP sensor tube from coming off
