    To stop you from starting the engine without pressing the clutch peddle so it won't take off in gear.. Tomorrow, I'll have a look to see if mine has one that has been bypassed.

    Also, in most manuals, if you have cruise control the clutch switch cancels the cruise when depressing the clutch so the engine doesn't over rev.

    A few 4WDs (Jeep is one) come out with clutch switches that stop the engine from starting unless the clutch is depressed. But that means you can't do a reverse key start when stuck on a very steep slope - so if that's what the switch did it may have been disconnected.
