We couldnt get that one apart because the phillips heads were rusted and stripping out. so I slapped it on and she shifts fine. So this rules out the NSS. Paul thinks its in the ignition someweres, and I agree, but I'm going the lazy route and making a push button starter. Any suggestions of how I should wire it? Inline fuse etc?? yada yada. What a night. So for now I have to jump the starter everytime I want to go anywere. What a PITA!!!

Just take the 20 min and figure out what the problem is. but if your going to wire it up on a button, do something cool, like the rocker switch for the power seat, or the rear washer switch. don't just throw in a button on the dash, use a jeep switch make it unique.

What power seat? and my rear wiper still works. I'm looking towards doing an aircraft style safety switch. It won't be OEM, but it will be better than putting two wires together inside my cab with sparks flying. It literally looks like I'm hot wiring my rig whenever I start it haha.

make sure it's a momentary push switch, and not a toggle. you wouldn't want the starter staying on by accident.

Good call Paul I will keep that in mind

It's not going to be a full push button, the key will still have to be in the ignition. It will basically be a starter jumper button. Not going to do anything fancy. It will be a simple universal 12v horn button. like this.

maybe I'll hide it somewere clever ;D

Yeah cuz that would be convenient Paul?!!? No, I didn't get clever, just got it done, sick of holding two wires together. So here it is. Whatever you do just don't push the red button!!!

That should be out of the way and the ring around the push button looks to be raised enough that you won't be able to bump it on accident. That should work well.
