All I can offer is this: If you want to bypass the safety switch entirely, simply ground the "BLACK WIRE" that enters it. The starter button works by pulling a line on the solenoid to ground – and that ground is supplied via the safety switch.
If the safety switch is open, it makes the ground go away – so you can’t activate the starter. Short black to ground, and it’s ready to crank anytime – so if that’s the way you go, don’t be a dope.. 😉
