I put 2 toggles + push start button in my van this is how I did it. 1st toggle red wire line side,brown+orange load side. 2nd toggle, red+ white wire line side,pink and a red jumper load side. Push start button, red jumper from 2 toggle line side. Yellow to starter load side. When I start truck no.1 toggle.then 2 toggle. And push been starting up no problems. O yah, there was a small black wire that was originally to the attached to the side of factory ignition switch, I just screwed that to ground. And there was a no.20 gauge green wire + tan wire for door buzzers and key insert,I just have then wire nutted separate so I don't have to listen to buzzers. I still am not positive this is right so any help would be a great relief to me!! As I have been searching for help with this for 5 months! Thanks

 

Why are you re-wiring the ignition?

 

Guess I have wrong part of this website.Thought this was general public trying to help each other out. ___&Re:This was not meant to be disrespectful this was 1st time using this forum.I truly thought I was talking to a tech which have given me nothing but negative reactions when I asked them about it! I had no problems with this person! And in no way was I trying to be disrespectful.I saw quote and thought this was supposed to be a place for fees from techs.similar to Just Answer.com very sorry for mixup.Did not expect any more reply.Boy was I wrong! Thank you!

 

There's no need for the hostility, hes just asking you why you would do something so pointless, you're not adding any functionality, in fact you're somewhat removing it. Anyways, if you say its working and starting I don't know what the issue you need help with. Toggle switches need to provide power as if key was in run position, and then push start should just power the starter. So instead of you having key in run, and you turn to crank, you toggle switches to power, and then push to crank. So all you've done is replaced a handy key turn with two switches and a button. If its worth it to you, so be it, otherwise that's alot of wiring work for no reason. Not to mention all the other wires run off the key turn aside from ignition power, like accessory and others.

Also in the future, listing wire colors is pointless because they can even vary within trim packages and other things. Its far easier to just communicate each wires purpose or what its doing, ie Switched 12V.. You should also have taken down voltage readings for those wires before hand in case they weren't 12V. Also don't be rude for no reason when asking for help. Were are here to help you, you just need to communicate clearly so there isn't a barrier.

Like I said, I cant tell from your post what you've even asking for advice or help on.

 

I don't know why you said I was being hostile,I didn't call anybody any names or direct any insults toward the person who replied. He answered my question with a question.Also if you look at the heading it states model + year.And I believe I stated I was not sure if they were right! Buy the way does it matter,it's my truck I bought it new, now I just use it for heavy hauling and pulling stumps etc.And around town.Since I bought it I have had trouble with the steering wheel locking up when 1st starting it and I am sick of the buzzers! But main thing I thought I could save a few bucks. Not that it should matter to anyone why I want to do it that way. Do you know how much it costs for a total replacement of ignition.A hell of a lot more than 2 toggle switches and a push button and a little bit of wire. Not to mention I had posted a thread before that leading to this question about high idle.So now I received 2 answers that it seems you don't like what I am doing I think that is rude.Why are you telling me how to run my life,I know what I want! At 62 years old I think I can make my own decisions. So try reading the heading and the question before you butt into someone's business.I will go back and read my post to see if I am correct.Yes I just checked, it's as I stated.Oh and buy the way I went by wiring diagram of truck,but like I said I wasn't sure! Thanks I guess.1 more thing I just noticed you stated you're a professional,you must be a tech,that explains everything!

 

Mainly because what you are doing, likely isn't going to solve the problem you are attempting to work around.

 

Calm your **** sweetheart.

 

Professional is just my forum title based on posts, not something that I stated, I'm not an auto technician. That being said I have done extensive work into the wiring you're mentioning as well as circuits being my field of study and have more than enough expertise to help with a simple problem like this. I have read your post through a few times and am still not sure what you're wanting, you say you're not sure about the wiring but the truck starts, so it sounds like your wiring is fine and you have no problem. The high idle and increasing from temp is likely entirely unrelated to the ignition wiring in question, and to assume we've read info in another unrelated thread is an ignorant assumption. You also did not replace your ignition, if it was having faults, all you've done is replace your key switch for two toggles and a button. I'm also indifferent to what you're doing or why, suffice to say what you've done is dust in the wind. You have not fixed anything, only changed something, and to put a 'racing style' anything into a 250 van is laughable IMO. If you're trying to fix a problem to restore factory functionality, you should replace with factory parts and functions. In the future if you're not sure about wiring, you shouldn't mess with it, or at least get help PRIOR to making repair/changes/fixes.

No one is trying to be rude to you, you're just being excessively stand-offish.
Frankly, if you don't quit with your attitude and the 'I've been around a long time' mentality, I'm not going to waste my time helping someone who's not even willing to let someone help because they're so self absorbed in their made up drama. I've already asked once and will ask again. If you want help, please CLEARLY STATE what you want help with and what the problem is, in a QUESTION with RELEVANT background. And please try to make it a bit more readable.

I'd like to help you fix your problem, but I'm not going to deal with the attitude.

 

O.k. Mr. Professional I am also a professional, Master carpenter,35 yrs.+ I can wire a house build, or anything to do with building. Now like I said before I have had problems with steering wheel locking up when trying to start+ my ignition was bad.So that's why I went to this style of ignition.I epoxied the turn switch for locking steering so I don't have to deal with it. But most of all when you call me ignorant that I don't understand and would take it from no one.Its not ignorant to want to try to get info about wiring that could possibly fry the e.c.m. You don't like what I am doing tough **** buddy, please don't bother to reply to this post or thread, your arrogance does nothing but confirm that people's today don't want to help just criticise! Good by,go bother someone else!!!
