Dont know which one it is but my 98 milliena has the same problem and i am going to replace the ignition switch I'll let you know what happens Well i replaced the ingnition switch. My problem is now fixed. My car had other issues with this problem. My starter would engage when the car was not in gear. It would engage in p. and in n. If you have these issues it could very well be the switch. good luck

This could be a bad ignition switch, ignition relay, or ignition fuse.

Most often it is the starter and not the ignition.

It sounds like your ignition switch has gone bad. If you have done some sort of work on the starter recently recheck your wiring.

Usually when this happens the starter solenoid has failed -- remove the starter and have it checked/rebuilt. Some auto parts stores can run a check for you also.

Could be that the battery is dead or the starter is bad.
How do start a 1994 Chevy cavalier when the battery and alternator is good but still wont turn over?
First, make sure your all of your electrical connections and fuses are good. (battery cables are not corroded and cable to starter and ground are good) If they are good, it sounds like you either have a bad ignition switch or starter. You might try having someone turn the ignition switch to start position while using a multi-tester to see if you are getting power to the starter. If you are getting power to the starter, and it won't engage, chances are you need a new starter. If you do not have power to the starter, you might have a bad ignition switch. In certain circumstances you might try tapping on the starter with a hammer while someone is turning the ignition switch to see if it will engage. If it will, I would look to a bad starter. I have found that a majority of the time, a starter is the problem, not the ignition switch. Hope this helps.

check your wiring, if all your wiring is good then test your ignition relay, if its not the starter, not the battery, and not the wiring there's only one thing left. Good Luck with the repair
Why makes the starter on 1998 silverado engage when the positive cable is connected and the key is not in the ignition?
Did you put a starter on it ? If so, Then you have put the starter wires in the wrong place are you have the big battery wire touching the small wire that goes to the starter. Recheck the wiring on the starter.
How do you get power to the starter?
The positive battery cable connects directly to the starter. Depending on what type of vehicle it is, the solenoid is either on the starter or on the inner fender. Power for the solenoid comes from the ignition switch. You can run a wire to the solenoid to cause the starter to engage.
Where does the purple wire from the starter go and what is its purpose?
The small purple wire on the "S" terminal of an older GM vehicle starter would lead to the ignition switch. With the key in the start (crank) position, the purple wire signals the starter solenoid to engage the starter.
Starter clicks will not engage?
Seized engine? Weak or dead battery? Loose or corroded battery cables? Flat spot on starter motor? Bad starter solenoid? Bad neutral or clutch safety switch? Bad ignition switch?
Why won't the starter engage on a 1977 Chevy van that has a hot battery a new ignition switch and all lights will come on?
