Did you ever find out what this was? I had/have the same problem. A few months ago, I had a low brake switch code. It only came on for a few days and then went away. I then had my engine built. I was driving and every time I hit a bump, my brake and abs and seatbelt lights would come on. My stereo and wideband cut off and the car acted like it was going to die. I found that my battery terminals were loose, so I tightened them up and that fixed that. But now my car is dead all the time. If I let it sit for a day w/o driving it, and go to start it the next day, it wont start. It's like something drains it, and unless it is driven everyday the battery dies. Battery is brand new btw.
I'm totally missing something here, regarding the brake clip/wire/clutch pedal issue. But, I don't see the problem that some of you are claiming.
I know it's been posted a while ago, but I didn't get to see the video.
Can someone post a decent photo of the situation WITH the clutch pedal fully depressed?
Maybe the original owner saw this thread and fixed it? I don't see how else it would have been situated.
The white clip is pointed down, pretty much directly away from the nearest part of the clutch pedal/lever, but certainly nothing is smashed
You can see where the pedal meets the wiring by the vertical line worn into the wiring.
Yeah, I saw the picture. That's weird, too weird, especially since my clutch pedal/brake wire positions are nothing like that. Yeah, they look the same, but my plastic clip is below the pedal. I also don't see how some of you are
saying that you move the clip or wire, and now it's "over the clutch pedal"???
Eeeouuw. I'd hate to accidentally snag the wire, at at the wrong time, and get rear ended by a semi.
There's no way, short of me physically standing on my clutch pedal, with my entire weight (about a 250lb frame), that would even leave a hint of the pedal touching the wires. So, I have to go along with the responder who said to the effect of "the factory either did it right on my car", or they fixed it by then. I do know , though that my '05 was built late '04.
I'll try and get a photo of mine, WITH the clutch to the floor (with hand pressure). I think you folks may be standing on your clutch. I get full disengagement just pressing it to the floor, while remaining in my seat.
Otherwise, I'd say that your clutches hydraulics need checking and/or shifter cables have stretched, explaining the improved shifting, when you move however/whatever you relocate, enabling you to push the clutch even further.
I truly appreciate this thread, and since my ownership of this car, few people have driven it any sort of significant distance, and plan to keep it that way.
In fact, should I ever sell the car locally, there'll be no 'test drives' (It does work that way. I sold a motorcycle that way - with "NO test rides" in the ad).
I took photos of my setup, with my hand pressure pushing the clutch down all the way. Still, as before, I contend I don't have the problem. I have a ways to go. As I have a good clutch and cables (replaced in early '08).

I'm not sure about the elec. tape. So, it was probably fixed at clutch job time.
