I didn't do it to my van, but been running a push button in my Toyota PU for years. The on/off was good in the column switch, just the start went bad.

Yes I did it myself, very easy. I'm not sure what is wrong with the ignition switch. It worked intermittently and then less and less. I'm guessing the switch was/is bad. It was easy enough to do, I just pulled a hot to one side of the push button (boat start switch) and the starter circuit on the other.
Is your switch bad for sure? Does it power up accessories, gauges??
