Default neutral safety switch acting up - how to fix/replace? on 96 HX

Ok, I finally (think) I figured out what was going on w/ starting my car...When I would crank it I would get all power but no start - no turning of the engine, not even a click from the starter, and I did hear the fuel pump engage. So I'd try again, and it'd start right up. Next time it did it, I tried it w/o pushing in the clutch again, and the next time w/ pushing in the clutch again - mashing it, almost. The latter worked, whereas the former didn't so...Battery/alt/connections/starter all tested ok as well.

So how do I fix/replace the neutral safety switch?

And where exactly is it located under that dash (pics would be of great help)?

96 HX thanks!

It should be at the cluth pedal assy. Look straight up from the clutch pedal and you will see it.

Thanks...but I still can't find it. I even have my Haynes manual and it shows this little bracket w/ 2 bolts - but you know how those Haynes pics are - not so bright. Maybe I can't get my head up to where it is too - it is a hard contortionist effort to get under that dash in the first place. If anyone can take a pic and post it that'd be great - Thanks!
