92 S10 Starting
I picked up a 92 S10 i use for firewood, 4.3 V6 automatic, the shift linkeage is all messed up, it wont go into park, u have to jam it up to get into reverse, anyway, the shifter when the tranny is in neutral or reverse is in the Park position, so that is not the problem, now when you go to start it the on starter selonoid just clicks, ive tapped on it, it did this before but if you wiggled the shifter it would start, now it just clicks, ive checked battery terminals, the batt is fully charged, my question is, can i run a fused 12 volt line from the battery to a push button, then to the starter, tell me what you think as im not chevy savey

Sounds like you have a bad starter solenoid or bad starter. Before you go to the trouble of wiring a push button run a wire from the key terminal on the solenoid and touch the other end to the pos. battery terminal, if the starter runs then fit the push button.

dont wire it. just take a screw driver across the pos and neg on the seleniod. also try a little pb blaster on the conections. s10's are famouse for it getting rust and crap built in there. actually common chevy problem all around

its kinda hard to short over a chevy solenoid - its on the starter.
first step: adjust the dang linkage. its not hard at all. and if its not the adjustment, look at the bolt that connects it on the firewall, I use new setups with springs to allow play.
then, drop the starter and make sure the solenoid is not gunked up and the bendix is not froze up.
on a chevy, the bendix moving ALL THE WAY out is what engages the internal terminals
dont even try to use a switch to move direct starter current - u will nuke it in a flamingly spectacular fashion.
