Do you have an automatic? If so,
The switch is on the transmission, if it's bad you'll have to jump the connector on the harness side. You can use a spade-type connector like that goes on the end of a wire and then you slide into one of those screw-down connection points on like an amplifire. The spade connector looks like a fork. I can't explain which harness it is exactly, however, so it's gonna be hard to tell you what to do. I can get the wire colors off my car.
What you'd have to do is unplug the harness from the transmission, jump the wires on the harness, start the car. Un-jump it, plug it back in, then drive it.
This is assuming the inhibitor switch on the automatic is the problem.

so where is this harness??? what are the wire colors i think that the switch under the shifter is for the key lock. Im pretty good at wiring( i used to install stereos) so if someone can tell me where the harness is and the wire colors then i should be able to get the rest BTW its a 1989 auto

1)read all the instructions first (take notes if you have to)
2)scroll up
3)read the entire thread (be sure to read the responces by Matt and Kaleb)
4)smack your self in the head(see figures 1.1 and 1.2) while saying one of the following: OOOOH,DOH, AHHHH
5)delete this thread
