Hello, i have a 1999 ram 1500 and am looking to change the ignition switch to a push button and kill switch and hoping to do so in a way that i dont have to have my key in the ignition cause it kinda defeats the purpose. Basically i want to end up with the prerunner/racecar style panel on the dash. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I was thinking more along the lines of a push button and a kill switch like in the rally trucks.

pretty sure your 99 doesnt have a chipped key, so it would be simple to do with a wiring diagram.

There are systems like the advanced keys listed above that can do this. you will have to search the web.

can it be done with a couple switches and a bunch of relays.. yes, but you will have to figure out what is needed and what is not needed when cranking.
