Push Button start??
i have a 1999 Trans am Ws6..my car when i bought it had (still does) push start i was woundering how do i go about getting rid of that push start and just using the key to start it?.. or will that be a Pain in the A$$ and just go with a S2000 Push start button?... the button i have on it now is ghetto and looks bad..

I would recommend taking it to an alarm shop that does remote starts. They are familiar with the starting circuits and might could get you back to stock fairly easily.

The wiring for starter comes out of the ignition switch mounted to lower end of column. On older gm's that I've personally worked on this is probably a large gauge pink, or pink/wht wire, possibly purple. Shouldn't be too hard to find where someone hacked into it & ran the lead to the push button.

vats chip is in computer, will still crank, but not stay running without it. Original (purple)wire was probably cut in half to install the push button. My point was if you look into the harness where it wascut into, you should be able to reconnect back to switch.
OR, hook up in tandem with that super awesome push button & have both.
PS, I must be gettin too old to remember all those wire colors, good thing I don't work for bomb squad. Do i cut blue or red?
