Ignition switch and lock have been replaced apx 4 to 5 times. Last time both of them from knects. Seams this time the spring back is gone. I put a hot wire the first time this happened so I could start the start the van. So I was able to start the van. Van is a SE model. Would like to know how to by pass entirely. I'm an electrian. A scamatic of how to do would be great.

Hi,

I'm not sure exactly what you are asking. Do you want to bypass the ignition switch itself?

I attached a portion of the power distribution schematic showing the ignition switch. If you want the entire power distribution schematic, let me know.

Take care,
Joe
