So I've had issues with my clutch switch for a while now, its already been replaced once and the second one really started to become a consistent issue after this past winter.


Still cant manage to replace the damn switch myself and dealer wanted to charge 150 just to diagnose. Wouldn't tell me how much the actual swap would cost -_-


Decided to just bypass the switch for now by using a little wire with two spade connectors, inserted into the plug for the switch.


Since then, my car's battery keeps dying after 1-2 days. I thought maybe I bumped something down there when I was working but I can't think of what it could be.


Why would bypassing the switch actually cause the battery to drain? I'm wondering if its because I leave the car parked in a valet operated garage... they keep the key on the dash after parking the car.


Tried googling this... everything I find says the switch bypass shouldn't cause any battery issues. Maybe its different since I have the push button start, so key in cabin + switch bypassed = car always thinking its about to start?
