No, a fault in those circuits will not cause the "electrical Fault" message. Does this have an automatic trans?

No... 10sp manual.

Yes, I have done this. You have to remove the lower kick panels to gain access to the clutch switch. The clutch switch will be located up towards the top of the pedal. Prostars don't use the old fashion spring loaded trip rod style of switch. They use a magnetic style the just sits next to the pedal but doesn't make any contact. It will be black and mostly square in shape. I think it is mounted to a bracket next to the clutch pedal. Anyway, there are actually two switches inside this box. One allows you to crank the engine, the other is a signal to the body controller that you are depressing the clutch, (this would cancel the cruise and or engine brakes). There will be 4 wires going into this switch. There is a connector that you can unplug to get better access to the wires. The wires you are looking for are the two pink ones. They should be 18 gauge, PINK in colour, and numbered B17A, and B17AA. Simply cut the two wires near the connector body and then butt connect them together to bypass the clutch switch. Make sure you reconnect the connector to the clutch switch or your cruise won't work. Just remember, you will be eliminating a safety design and do so at your own risk.

Sometimes you really have to push the pedal through the firewall almost and also push it to the right to get it to make closer contact with the magnetic switch. For a quick bypass, you can also remove the "Crank" relay and jump 30 to 87 to allow for a crank if the clutch switch is buggered.
