I have a 97 4x4 blazer automatic with an ignition switch that is bad. Since it is known for going bad I want to know if it is possible to rewire the ignition leads and make a push button for each function (acc, off, run, start) or install some type of toggle setup with a push button start?

I am very interested in making this truck run off as little electronics as possible. Except for engine performance sensors of course. I have heard that it may be possible to run other electronics from a separate fuse box of my own. Any insight would be greatly appreciated as I continue to search this forum.

 

Nothing is impossible, it's just how much do want to spend. With the right switches and good place to put them it should just be a matter of getting a wire diagram of the ignition system to which wires to cut and reconnect.

 

I have thought about this mod for my other car.
If you search ricer forums they seem to do this alot...not to knock it...just saying thats where i have found some info on setup options and ideas.

 

yeah I have been on other forums just haven't been into those like I am this one. Thanx for replying, just wanted to be assured it can be done at least. Electrical problems can be a beast!

 

i also have a 97 blazer mine is push button start works great i turn the switch to on and hit it starts everytime now i did have a cheep button and sometimes i would have to hit it 2 or 3 times then it would start but bought a $10 one and works fine
