Steering column Ignition is no good!

I need to know how to hook-up a pushbutton ignition on a "93 F150. I cannot replaace the whole column, so I need to bypass the switch and hook a button directly to starter. Thank you. lisa

You will either A) Get a new steering column from the bone yard or local ford dealer B) Rig up a push button start to your starter relay solenoid under the hood....

Just some advice,
Jason

Replacing the colums probably not much harder than hooking up a starter button.
I had a button on mine for awhile (temp) and it was hooked to the 2 biggest posts on the selnoid on the right front fender.

Jrock909, you must be a lawyer. You were able to make a post that was completely 100% true, yet 100% useless, and didn't put you in any danger.

Vinford, using the biggest terminals is BAD. You'd want to use the big terminal that has the cable going to the battery, and the small terminal.

I agree 100% with Guitar-Stitch.Going to the two large posts will cause the[temporary]button to overheat[HOT].ALWAYS make sure the truck is in neutral or park before starting.Remember-it does not have fuse protection.I would recommend-repair it correctly.It will also not have any device for neutral or park[safety] starting .
Be safe and good luck.
