Default my car starts too easily...

So yeah... my car starts too easily... you can start it whithout stepping on the clutch pedal... my mom was moving my car so she could get out of the driveway, and she just turned it on without pressing the clutch! luckily I did not have it in gear... I think that there is a clutch sensor that is bad, but I dont know what its called... clutch sensor prabably... lol and i dont know where it is so I can fix it... any thoughts on where to get one would also help! thanks

There's a switch at the top pivot of the clutch pedal under the dash. If the car has cruise control there will be two switches, the starter one is on top. There is also a relay in the circuit but most likely it is the switch.

I think Kommando replied just to boost his post count... lol

thanks for the answer though. I will go to a wrecking yard soon to look for a new switch, hopefully it will be cheap.
