ignition wiring
Hi,
new member here. My ignition barrel is playing up and, sometimes, prevents me from turning the key. I'm exploring fitting a start/stop button. I require the ignition wiring to aid setup if available please. Chevy Spark 2013, UK. |
Welcome from Florida. Why not replace the bad ignition barrel? Maybe a good locksmith can repair your old one. A universal ignition switch with a key is also an option.

There are no more Chevrolet dealers in the UK. My thinking was that a button start would be cheaper than a repaired or replaced ignition barrel. I don't mind spending a little bit of time learning things, so would enjoy the experience. |
You can check dealers in the US since there is international shipping. A button would still require a switch to ensure safety. To put in a button like the newer cars have would require adding a computer not just a button.

Yes, I’m aware of the need for a small computer to manage push button start & stop, despite many sellers listing start/stop buttons online and claiming that’s all one requires! |

There must be a way. Did you try contacting 3rd party carriers? Fed Ex, DHL and others do international deliveries.

They can pick it up from the source.

Thank you once again, but I think the cost prohibits. I think I’d like to investigate the option of push start/stop.
