I replaced the key ignition switch in my 1993 Corvette because I lost the key. Now it doesn't crank and no fuel pump on. Is there a procedure I need to do to get it to recognize the new switch?
Did you replace with an OEM switch? Does the security light flash when you turn the key to start? Sounds like a VATS mismatch.
Thanks, I have been out of town, so that why I'm late getting back to you. I was thinking that was probably the problem. The previous owner must have changed it. I will get back to it next week.

How did you get it? Unless it was delivered by a helicopter or the transporter rolled it off the truck and pushed it onto your driveway, it has to have been powered up. How do you know it isn't getting pressure? AFAIK, on my 91, if you tape the pellet so VATS doesn't recognize it, the pump will prime for a second or two but you won't get crank or injector pulse.

I have owned the car for over 10 years but only had the one key. Somehow I lost it and tried getting a key made at the local dealer but it didn't fit. Someone had already changed the keyed ignition switch. So I got a new switch and key that was a #3 but I get nothing when I turn the key no fuel pump, no cranking. So I have to assume the vats module must have been changed also. I have to locate it and see what it looks like. The guy I bought the car from gave me 4 or 5 boxes of parts. So I may have the original one possibly.
