Since you're talking about a valet mode you are likely referring to an aftermarket remote starter system. Since you didn't provide details on the make and model of remote starter it's difficult to say whether or not the valet switch can be bypassed by some menu option or if you need to short the wires across the switch. Since apparently the vehicle is in valet mode currently due to the broken wire, that would suggest the switch is a Normally Closed type in which case the easy bypass is probably to cut the other wire at the switch, strip the wire insulation on both, and twist them together until you have a chance to get both wires soldered back on. If you go this route, but sure to insulate the wires.
if I ever run across a "how to steal a car" section, I'd be happy to post replies that will injure the person trying to bypass anti-theft systems.
I have posted half a dozen replies to this affect today alone.
If you are in need of bypassing anti-theft systems, the best bet is to take it to a shop....or tow it.
I hope you can see through my sarcasm and realize that posting the correct answer would just teach car thieves new tricks.
I think you ether missed a wire or miss placed a wire and have a short or no connection where you need one recheck all wiring on starter make sure there is no lose wires
Kill switch? If it is the ign switch you can start the truck by hotwiring the constant power to the run circuit. This will power the relays like fuel pump etc. Then you will need to find the starter relay in the underhood fuse/relay block and jumper the power to the output circuit temporarily. The truck should crank and start. Not the prettiest solution but should bypass the issue.
of course!...however you do not want to bypass this safety switch! bypassing it will allow a car in gear to start...possibly running over and/or killing someone! get a cheap switch at a salvage yard!
There is NO kill switch on the 2000 Elantra... HOWEVER, there is a thing called the Key Fob (keyless remote entry system). There is, however, a system in place called the 'starter kill' circuit and it is activated when the burglar alarm goes off.... it's called the burglar alarm relay and it is activated to prevent the engine starter system from being used. There are three ways to get the engine started in such a circumstance... 1. use the key fob to 'disarm' the system... 2. put the key in the ignition and turn it to the 'RUN" position and wait until the alarm stops (horn stops beeping and the parking lights stop flashing), then the engine will start.... 3. pull the starter relay from the UnderHood junction box and bypass the starter circuit (key in ignition and in the 'RUN' position), jumper the starter solenoid circuit to energize the solenoid to start cranking the engine -- it should start then.
