You'll need to pull the steering wheel, but that involves messing with the air-bag. If you haven't been trained, don't do it! Air bags are very sensitive and can go off without warning when they are out of circuit. Your efforts to save a few dollars could result in a very expensive repair and possibly injury or death. For this particular problem, you should take it to a professional. Ummm... a 1977 Chevrolet Impala doesn't have an airbag. Please wake up.

1994 ford escort that wont turn over but has a strong battery and starter now i am wondering about the fuel system like the fuel pump or ignition module what do you think?
Same thing happened to my 94. Turn your ignition to the on position and take a screwdriver and bridge the two terminals together on the starter. If it turns over it needs a new ignition switch. Good luck on that. They are a pain to replace.
How do you find a short in your ignition wires for a ford escort lx 92 whats happening is when i jump start the car the starter engages and doesn't want to turn off as long as it's in park or neutral?

What and where is the PNP switch on your 99 Toyota Corolla?
The pnp switch is short for Park/Neutral Switch. Its pretty much the middle man between the ignition switch and the starter. It only allows the current from the ignition switch to reach the starter if the vehicle is in park or neutral. Its usually connected to the shifter. Allow me to correct myself on the first answer. If the shifter is on the column it will be located in the column region. If shifters on the floor its under the vehicle and connected to the shifter.
The ignition in your 1990 bronco wont engage the starter and causea the battery power to remain on already changed the lock cylinder without result?
the ignition actuator is broken, you can turn off the "battery power" by the the ignition actuator rod that leads to the ignition switch, it runs along the top of the steering column under the dash, locate it and pull it towards the steering wheel, this should shut off the power. or you can unhook you battery, but either way you will have to replace the actuator.
What is the small piece that fits below the ignition cylinder that turns the actuator to turn the car on?

You have no power from ignition Starter is good replaced ignition switch with key in on position you can jump syllinoid to starter with screwdriver and car starts no problem 1994 beretta?
Could be a faulty ground wire. Not very rare to happen
Got power and starter is good Why when turning ignition key there is no starter action you checked the blue and yellow wire at starter and there is no juice when ignition key is fully turned?
If this is an automatic transmission, it might be the shifter interlock that only allows the starter to work when in Park or Neutral. If the switch built into the shifter isn't making proper contact, it won't turn over. If the contacts are loose, you can try pushing the shift lever to the right to see if you can force contact. This worked for me until I rebuilt the switch. Well it could be a few things, Is your battery still good? Did you blow the starter fuse and there should be a starter relay as well. Good luck
