5.3

I know this isnt quite a gas engine tech question but does anyone know how hard/what needs to be done to install a push button starter or starter switch in a 01 silverado w/ a 5.3?

No one?

Should be the same as any other car. Get a suitible button . Use a relay and hook up to the s terminal on the solenoid.

You would still need the key in the ignition, right?

I don't think it'd be that easy on today's cars. Turning the switch does more now than just complete the circuit to the starter. It also activates relays, and sends different codes to the computer just for starting up.

 

Is this for a remote switch to turn the engine over while working under the hood? Why a push button switch on the dash along with the key?

no just as kind of a replacement for a key

But how do you unlock your steering wheel. Also what if you wanted just acc. on so you can listen to the radio, with out the truck being on?

Not bashing your idea, I think it would be cool to have a push button start.
