    When I purchased the car, I was told there's a switch located under the seat somewhere, that won't allow the car to start without someone sitting in the seat. I believe this to be correct as there have been a couple instances where I need to lift my big ass up or down some to get the car to turn over.
    1. Can anyone confirm?
    2. Can this switch be bypassed/deleted ?
    3. Also, I need to remove the seat so I can contort my large frame under the dash to do some wiring and wondering if the car will start with the seat removed.

    Put on your seat belt the car will start.
