1. bad starter selenoid 2. blown fuse in the circuit 3. bad ground at the starter (not likely, but possible) Start at the starter, with a test light, and work your way back through the curcuit until you find power. That's where the problem will be. If the starter has no power move to the selenoid. If the selenoid had no power in the switch circuit move to the fuse. If the selenoid has no power on the battery side move to the fusable link. Keep working your way to the ignition switch.
A starter will not disengage if the ignition switch is stuck or if the solenoid has jammed. This will cause the starter to constantly receive power.
It sends a power to the starter relay/solenoid to engauge the starter. Know that the ignition switch is not what you put the key in and turn. That is the lock assembly. The ignition switch is located lower down on the steering column.
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.
More than likely you have a bad ignition switch however your anti-theft system could still enabled.
You turn on power to the accesories, ie radio, power outlet, etc.
Check the 92 Camaro neutral safety switch next. If the switch is faulty then the starter will not get power to start the engine.
change the ignition switch.

Check for power at the clutch switch, then check for continuity through the switch with the clutch pedal depressed. If there is power and continuity, then the starter (or even ignition solenoid/starter relay) is the problem.
If you battery has plenty of power, either faulty contacts in ignition switch or starter motor, or faulty starter motor.
you can disconnect the starter relay and run a wire from the starter wire in the connector to the power wire on it p.s. it is easyer to take a curcit tester and probe the connectors with someone truning the ignition switch to fine the starter the starter wire is brown and im not sure about the power lead from the ignition switch
NO, there is no coalition between the ignition switch and the transmission. The ignition switch does 2 things. Turns on power to the electrical system for the engine and supplies power to the starter during start-up.
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.

To bypass the ignition switch on a 1994 Chevy Astro, simply attach a wire to the ignition switch where it makes contact after the key is turned on. Run the wire to the push button and install at the lower part of the ignition switch to send power to the starter. Ê

Have someone hold the key in the start position as you use a 12 volt test light at the trigger wire connector(small one) on the starter to see if there is power when the key is in the start position. If there is power, you need a starter, provided that there is sufficient power from the battery to turn the starter. If there is no power, you have a problem elsewhere. It could be wiring, ignition switch, power supply to the ignition switch, or transmission range(TR) sensor. A TR sensor takes the place of a neutral safety switch on the automatic transmission. If it is a manual, we have a clutch pedal position switch.
