So I'm I went into the Walmart and I came out and my truck actually starts without a key already without me doing anything so I dropped the ignition switch just to stall people just in case they were going to try to steal it they would have a problem trying to figure out why it won't crank. and of course this is the first time this has ever done this to me where I came back out and I put the ignition cylinder back in or ignition switch back in and I I got no lights on the dash or nothing like it's stuck in neutral or stuck in another gear. So I've tried your idea with bridge in the wire the yellow wire to the white wire and as soon as I turn the key over it automatically tries to start but when it tries to start it's doesn't start and run it just starts like just like automatically shuts off like this has no fuel or something like that. so I'm kind of stumped right now I've been sitting at this Walmart for like an hour and a half now and stupid ass Sanford police keep riding around here and and I really want it good the hell out of here because I hate this town. I pulled the neutral safety switch off and played with it a little bit I don't have it bypassed or anything I can't figure out which wires I need to bypass cuz I read one post on another forum where it said two purple wires but I don't see two purple wires I only see two pink wires and you can't even really tell their pink anymore. So any help would be greatly appreciated right now I am really really stuck up schitt's creek without a paddle right now

It might help if you would fill us in on your make, model, and year. Security and ignition systems are different over the years.

I did get it fixed it was a hassle from hell I turned out to be the ignition switch for sure and I did what you kind of said in the in the post the only difference was is that I didn't have a push button to use as a starting switch basically like you did I took the overhead light thing down and I took the button out of it and use that I mean I had no other options cuz I was stuck at a Walmart and they don't have those push button thingies that you installed on your dash so I had to sacrifice my dome light for getting home but yes I did finally get it fixed and everything I apologize for the late response I just I've been dealing with one thing after another sometimes and now I keep getting this p 1626 code and well I mean it does it and it gives it to me while I'm driving down the road so it's not like it causes it not to start it just keeps giving me that code

No need to apologize!!! I only ask because I am curious (I could always learn something new), and it is good to publish fixes for those in the future. Do you have a thread going about your p1626 code? If not, I suggest a brief search of these forums for help, and if you find nothing, open a new thread on it.

People only ***** and moan when someone is being lazy, but generally help anyway. The only thing I've seen people get angry about is treating members poorly. I am guilty of bitching, moaning, and taking offense at mistreatment... But please don't tell anyone! I'm hoping they won't notice.
