Since the car won't run with the switch disconnected but the switch won't shut the engine off it would seem the switch is defective. It should have a patch of white paint on it but even if it does I would replace it and move it to a spot foward of the bonnet release so you don't kick it or knock the wires off of it again. The white paint would indicate that the switch was replaced in a recall campaign just for the reason yours now isn't working correctly. Don't forget the switch when wired properly is also supposed to unlock the doors at the same time it stops the fuel pump and eventually the motor. This is a critical piece of safety equipment and the federal government saw fit to require an expensive recall to save lives in the event of a serious accident so don't tamper with it and if it isn't working correctly it is in YOUR best interests to make sure it is functioning correctly.
