Where is the starter switch located in a 1995 isuzu trooper LS. Not sure if there talking about key switch or other in column.

The key lock cylinder operates the ignition switch sometimes ignition switch is separate sorry I didn't find where ignition switch is located if the lock cylinder is plugged into it.
You should have a starter relay and starter relay fuse.
This diagram of starter circuit shows the clutch pedal switch in the circuit on an automatic should have the neutral safety switch in the circuit. This is for 95 Rodeo.

Just changed ignition switch in 1995 Chevy Silverado 4x4, shift indicator light won't come on. Rpm and speedometer not working therefore transmission not shifting correctly. ????????

All of those problems happen with a bad ignition switch so you must have bought a bad one from auto zone or you connected it wrong.Did you change the ignition switch or the key cylinder in the steering column because there is a difference?The ignition switch supplies power to the fuses.

How to tun off timing light after changing the belt

with ignition turned on, using the trip switch , change the display to ODO, and then turn the ignition OFF
While pressing the trip switch,turn the ignition switch ON and hold for five seconds
Release the trip switch,then press the switch again within five seconds.The digital display should change to T- BELT MODE.

1995 Sable when ignition switch turned off, engine still runs and everything keeps working. ignition switch was changed; still has problem

You said you changed the ignition switch. You changed the switch or the ignition lock cylinder? I've seen cars also do this after a remote starter has been installed but you said you nothing like that on your car.

Ignition switch pontiac

I am not sure of the correct tool name but it is a female torx with a male pin in the center. You have to remove the cover, and then you should see the screws on the left side, not the ignition cylinder side,. I had to change one from a pontiac grand prix and I had to go buy a set of the male/female torx to change it. After I changed it, I changed the screws to phillips so if the ignition switch needed changed again, I only needed a screw driver.

My 1994 f150 ignition switch will turn the truck on but won't turn it off. Also the switch is very loose, does this need to be changed or tightened?

The plastic ignition actator (plastic gear drive) has lost the steel pin pressed on the end of it. This thing connects the mechanical key ignition switch to the electrical ignition switch(with pin gone will push ignition on BUT with pin gone cannot PULL ign. switch to off position),the whole steering column will have to be removed from truck to replace.Availible from Ford or parts stores--ASK for plastic ignition actuator-metal one is for 1987 to 1991 F150s.
