Default transmission safety switch location?

Can anyone tell me the location of the safety switch that keeps you from starting if the transmission is not in neutral is at? I think it is going bad and I want to go ahead and replace it. Can you bypass this for the time being until a person locates another? Is the switch inside in the truck beneath the console or will I have to remove it from underneath the truck?

This depends if the truck is an automatic or a manual. If it is an automatic the switch is located around the shifter, there should be a coupling located under the console that connects to the tranny, you can unhook this but I'm not totally for sure if it will start, if it is a manual tranny then all you have is a clutch switch and it is located around the clutch pedal and is coupled to a bundle of wire in the foot area of the vehicle as stated before I don't know if you can unplug this and the truck run or not but you can always do a test on the circuit to see if the switch is bad.

The truck is a automatic. I may take the switch off and jumper it for the time being until I can locate the switch. Thanks
