hey at 2days old i got CP and that weaken my right arm i always started the truck with my left arm but it a pain so like a race car im thinking of a switch or push button start any help

 

and shift with left arm to

 

A three position with momentary switch would be real easy to set up, or better yet just get yourself a aftermarket ignition switch with key and put it in the left side of the dash. You would have to remove the safety locks that the stock key operates though.

More info about the truck would be good, year? AT or manual trans, left hand shifting is doable to, but more complicated.

Just looked in your profile it says a 92 F-150, a better but much more complicated solution, not sure how complicated would have to look, would be to just turn the whole stearing column over so everything is reversed. Key would be on the left, shifter on left but go up to put in gear, down to park, and turn signal on right side.

 

in my truck i use the windshield washer button for the starter. cant tell its there works i like it.

 

A regular aftermarket ignition switch usually does not have enough contacts to work with a OEM setup. Plus you still need to turn the key to unlock the steering wheel.

If you just want a momentary switch to crank it over, you could mount that on the left easily though. You would have to get under the dash and intercept the red/blue wire and put voltage on this. It's what goes through the neutral safety and then to the starter to crank the engine.

 

its a 92 f150 4x4 351w and the key is broke i use a flat head for a key lol but seeing what the options are before i do anything

 

The mechanical part in the column is broken, but the electrical part of the switch is mounted on top of the column underneath the dash. The easiest way to get to it is to loosen the u-clamp that holds the column to the dash, and drop the column down on the seat. Then you can see the switch. Make sure you take the cover off around the column near the cluster, and disconnect the string that works the PRND2L indicator or you will break it when the column drops

 

ya but would i be able to get the wires to the ign out to relocate the ignition to another part of the dash (left side)

 

? would i be able to get the wires out to the left side

 

You are going to have to cut the wires, and splice others in to extend them were you need them.

 

al right sounds good i all ready have a new ignition would thaT WORK or do i have to get a switch ????????

 

Does column from a right side drive truck have the shifter on the left?

 

not sure what you are saying
