nissan micra takes a few attempts to turn the ignition?

i found a switch that is located above the break pedal what happens is when the break is pressed down a plastic pin falls out and lets you start the car.
i have disconnected this from the break and left it hanging and now the car ignition turns with out any problem. so i think i have found the cause i just need to see if i can buy a new one.
