I have one of those installed on mine, but i messed up the little keys that disengage it, so now i have to jiggle it around for forever before i can start it. It came with the jeep when i bought it, iwant to put a switch on it so that i can disengage the device. I have heard that if you try to remove those anti-theft ones it wont ever start.

If you cut a wire and seen it ark you probably have a blown fuse. You should have pulled the battery cables when doing any type of electrical work/welding etc. You can mess a lot up, including your computer. check all fuses the ones under the dash more than likely, then check under the hood. Without having experience with this be careful. By the way you will have power on your ignition switch/start switch all the time, that is on one side of it!

I'm not sure of the question, but if it is "how to wire a push-button starter" here you go:
Find the green wire that runs from the starter relay to the starter and cut it
Take the end that is coming from the starter and splice another wire onto it and run it through the hole where the hood latch cable comes through the firewall. Get a 2 prong push-button and attach the green wire to it and run another wire from the fuse pannel (which is hot when the key is in the on position) to the button. Then all you have to do is turn the key to on and hit the button. This will also bypass the start relay and the NSS and you probably won't have back-up lights.

If it still won't start, check the engine control fuses under the hood.
