Default clutch safety switch

i bought my cherokee more than a year ago and since ive owned it i have been able to start it without the clutch. im assuming this is something the original owner did and i want to put it back to needing the clutch to start. ive searched under the dash and found 1 female connector on the drivers side near the clutch pedal but nowhere on the clutch to plug it into. ive also found a second female connector by the gas pedal. highly doubt thats it. and one more by the clutch that could be a connector but looks like a fuse holder. i want to know if anyone can tell me where the connector is and where it goes to. a picture would be very helpful also. thanks

also its a 95 cherokee sport. not sure if the year matters but cant hurt to add that

nope, that's how it's supposed to be. There is no clutch safety switch on our year XJ.

don't worry about rouge connectors. Jeep liked to use standard wiring harnesses across a wide variety of configurations. Every jeep is bound to have several connectors that go nowhere. Mine has about 10 at last check.
