I cant imagine it would be that hard, all you would have to do is hardwire the switch. Never done it myself though.

Does it have aftermarket starter on it? Or any type of aftermarket keyless entry?

If not, im assuming it was installed at one time, and they didn't take that 'feature' off.

Sounds like it might be a stuck or-faulty clutch pedal interlock switch.
