Default crx clutch safety switch wiring

I just dropped in a B20 into a CRX shell I bought a few months back it starts and runs just fine. However to get it to start the first time I need to bypass the clutch safety switch. Then came up with the o so brilliant idea of using it as a kill switch. So I then ran the wirers to a new switch I bought at the parts store. Now the car starts with the switch in both positions on/off. Went back to where I originally connected the two wirers and disconnected them completely, car still starts?! Did a little more research found out their are suppose to be two different clutch switches I only have one (top of the pedal) witch is what I used. I believe I used the wrong switch to do this, further more I think the last owner used the lower clutch switch (no switch or wires under dash) to run a kill switch. What I am asking is where do these wirers run to from the pedal so I can run the wires from their instead, and witch one should I be using for the kill switch?

What year is the CR-X

CIS [clutch interlock switch] wiring is normally, black, [input from ground] and black/blue, [ground output to starter relay] the leads run from the CIS plug into the dash harness. 94

It is a 91 si, so I need to go to the starter relay to run new wires correct?

I just looked at what I think is the starter relay right above the hood release under the dash? I did not see the black/blue wire at all

It will be a 4 pin relay with the black/white starter lead from the ign. switch, probably a black/red output lead to starter motor, a smaller gauge black/white for relays coil and the black/blue from the CIS.

Wire colors may be diff. other then the black/white starter lead from the ign. switch.

On a 91 CR-X I believe it is located close to the PGM-FI Main Relay above the hood release handle, behind coin tray. 94
