Can't find the clutch switch. Where exactly is it?

I've got exactly the same problem in a 98 Impreza too. But I can't see the switch on the clutch. Where exactly is it located? I can see the rubber pad thing mentioned. But nothing that looks like an obvious switch to be depressed with some pennies. Please help me out, got a 7hr drive coming up this week!

Sorry, used the search engine before and couldn't find any relevant posts. After posting the 'related topics' popped up. I will try this penny trick, but with 10 cents instead

I was hoping someone here could help me out. My mate reckons this will be a really simple little thing, but I'm not so sure. I've got a 98 Impreza thats been very well looked after. Still only 87,000km. I got it second hand about a year ago. When I first tried out the (factory standard) cruise control it was a bit odd. When I pushed the button on the panel, nothing lit up to tell you if it was engaged or not. No indication light on the dash, and the button itself which looks like it should light up, didn't. But once I clicked the steering column arm down it kicked in. I used it a couple of times after this just thinking it was odd, but possibly just a dead LED. Sometimes however I just couldn't get it to engage. Although I found sometimes if I gave the clutch a good push all the way down and then tried it would work. But I tried about a 3 months ago and no matter what I did I just couldn't get it to work. And its been that way since. (I'm not sure this is relevant but I did get some new and larger rims put on about 4-5 months back and don't think I've had cruise since around this time) I know how to service my car, but I've got no idea how to troubleshoot cruise control.
