Clutch/Switch

On top of the clutch pedal there's a switch which, when the clutch is down, is activated and de-activated when the clutch is up. What is that switch for? I have removed it for now as it was causing my one of my fuses to burn. However, I can't see any differences or anything malfunctioning?

Its for a few things.

#1 It should disengage cruise
#2 It is one of the sensors contributing to the idle speed and how it runs at idle.

You were right. The car idles incredibly funny when that switch is disengaged. Anyway, I found the short and the car is back to normal idle. Now, off to buy a set of new fuses as all my spare ones have been sacrificed in the attempt to fix the short.
