You may have activated security system if theft light flashing when key is turned, needs reset.
You don't. The ignition is required to start the car. If it fails you need a new ignition switch.
how can you start a '89 mercury cougar with a broken ignition switch?
The ignition switch is where you insert your key to start car
The barrel is not timed properly to the switch.
when you start the car up that's your ignition switch is located...
No. The chipped ignition key did not start until the 1998 model year and was only on the 6 cylinder Contour and Mystique. (I've got a '97 6 cylinder Contour that seems to have a chip in the key.)
Your 1996 Chevrolet Blazer may not start due to a faulty ignition switch. The electronic fuel pump may also be faulty and need to be changed.
The ignition switch is in the steering column..that's where you insert the key to start the vehicle.
Changed the ignition?? The key tumbler? The switch itself? The parts under the hood? IF the key, was the part in the column in good condition. Did the key assembly seat properly? If the switch itself, it is adjustable to a degree and may not be in the right place. Under the hood? Depends of what was changed.
The KILL switch is in series with the ignition switch. When the KILL switch is open, the bike will not start.
u might have broke something the actual ignition lock cylinder, that would be my guess from the sounds of it.
The ignition switch is one unit and you replace the entire thing. Do not confuse the ignition switch with the key lock tumbler. They are two different things.
