I think that the ECU needs to "see" the switch open and close when necessary. If the switch is bridged like you say to keep it closed permanently, then the ECU does not see the change in state. I know when I try to start my car, the dash icon lights up that says to depress the clutch (switch closed) and then the car starts. If the ECU does not see the switch close, then the car will not start. It is a programmed sequence that has to happen otherwise, nada.
