If your ignition switch is bad in your steering column, and the starter does not engage when the key is turned forward, then this is a quick fix for you.
BE SURE THE BATTERY IS DISCONECTED BEFORE YOU START WIRING. You can run some heave gauge (18 plus, and about 12 feet of it) wire to the top mount and the rear mount on the starter solenoid (one end of the wire to each, making a loop) Run the wire into the interior of the truck, and then install a toggle switch in the loop of wire. You will still have to turn on the key to engage the motor, but it will not start until you flip the toggle. That should get you by until you can replace the ignition switch in the column.

Can I install a push button start on my 94 c1500 suburban?

Sure can. cut the yellow wire off the ignition switch under the dash. Run a fused wire (40 Amp is good) from the battery to the push button. Put the yellow wire to the push button. Beware though, you are bypassing the neutral safety switch. It will crank anytime you push the button.

I start my car but it immediatly shuts off and the theft sys light flashes could this light be the reason?

the ignition swith reads the key chip when key is turned, this is a common problem,the ignition switch will need to be replaced, after replacing the swith reprograming will be needed, to program you will need a battery charger to keep battery from going dead, after installing new switch,turn charger on, turn key to crank then release key leaving ignition on, you will see the dash lights, leave key on for about 15-20 min, until you see theft light go out, if light doesnt go out then repeat process,crank for 2 sec, then leave key on 15-20 mins until security/theft light goes out, hope this helps.

I have a 1993 buick lesabre. The security light is flashing and will not start. I checked the fuse it was ok. I tried our other key and still wouldn't start.

there may be a broken wire from the ignition swith going down the steering column,theres two sensors at the begining opening of switch, sometimes they get stuck and dont pop back out, in turn it doesnt touch the chip on the key and cant read it,take a look with a light use a small pic and push lightly on them and see if the y push in and pop out, if they do then replace ignition swith,theres a way to bypass,use an omh meter and measure resistance of key chip, then buy a resistor with the same value,and connenet to wires from switch under the dash,cut wires and put conecting the two going to switch with resistor connecting them together,heres a diagram,193b32f.jpg

Bypassing starter

the solenoid has 2 big cables one goes to the battery and the other to the starter.
the small wire that has a boot that pushes on to the screw is the control to close the solenoid.unless the solenoid is shorted,the starter should not run

The fuel pump has been changed, however it does not pump fuel. A by-pass swith was installed and it works. What makes this happen. Could it be the ignition switch causing the problem. When the by-pass...

Chances are the fuel pump relay has died, and the bypass switch is turning it on in the absence of the relay. Replace your fuel pump relay and you should be able to get rid of the bypass switch.
