Hi Brad,
Not sure what your
problem exactly is, but it seems like it could be… the contact in your
push button (box).
This happens quite often,
and it is easily repaired, by disconnecting the push button box and adjusting
(bending) the part of the neutral switch that actually attenuates the starter relays.
Also, I’ve seen new
starter relays (?) units for in that push button box on eBay.
Could it be something
like this? Would be a lot easier!
Regards, Jim.

button starter switch
Needing some
advice/information as to a possible short cut to replace the starter switch
located in the push button assembly behind the neutral button. I now
start the car with a remote starter connected to the battery and the
starter solenoid. Kinda embarassing after going to a show and having to lift
the hood to start the car!!!!! The manual has quite a procedure to replace
the switch. I'm in no position at this time to do anything but to
wire an auxillary switch under the dashboard. I've replaced the starter
solenoid and have isolated the problem to the starter switch.
Do you really
need to follow the instructions to the letter,removing the control cable
drilling out the old switch ,draining 2 quarts from the transmission etc. etc ????
Any information
would be appreciated ,including what type of switch to purchase at a parts
store.
