Push button start?

My '85 camaro wont start. I was told this is due to the gears, of the key switch, being worn off at the bottom of the steering colomn. Instead of replacing them I want to make it push botton start, like a race car would have. How do I do this? I will still use the key to lock my steering wheel.

I was told
That's a good one.... I've heard some real whoppers, but I guess they make up new ones every day.

More likely, you just need to adjust the ignition switch; or worst-case, replace it. You can get a new one at any parts store for about $15.

I tried that. It didnt work. The guy that told me was in the parts store, a customer. He had nothing to gain by giving me this info.

Re: Push button start?

I would try looking at a few other things,such as the wiring to the starter,the neutral safety switch as well.There are a number of things that will cause that problem.As sofakingdom said,also try adjusting the ignition switch,there is a acuating rod that is moved when you turn the key,maybe thats all it is.Good luck with it.

Re: Push button start?

yes, I do. but WHY when you can fix it the ight way for less $.

#1 your gonna need a Good heady Duty Starter Button.
A Honda S2000 one is nice $39-90 depends on where you get it.

Then a typical 40/50A relay

Do a Google search you will find what you need from there.
