Believe the key barrel on the Montero is going south. Sometimes can not get truck to start with out a little key love action - have to use just the right motion to get her to go...

This happened on my last Montero. I replaced the ignition switch with no success. Eventually pulled the ignition switch and left hanging. When I need to start the truck would use a screw driver to manually turn switch and start engine. It worked but was not pretty.

Don't want to spend the money to replace barrel. So thinking of rigging up a "Start Button" to bypass key. Would still use key to unlock wheel and turn on power.

Has anyone rigged up something like this? any ideas?

Thanks,
