Push button Starter

I'm going to install a push button on my truck, but what wire do I install it on?

Re: Push button Starter

One of the wires coming from your ignition switch goes to the starter solenoid. You will have to disconnect that wire from the ign. switch and connect it to your starter button. Then you will need to get power from someplace and connect it to the other side of your button.

Re: Push button Starter

locate a hot wire and your starter wire. to find ignition hot take a multimeter and ground it with the key turned on.

Re: Push button Starter

Is your ignition switch bad in the steering column? I would replace the ignition switch. It's not that bad, and most parts stores rent the necessary tools for the job.

IMHO, push button switches make it even that much easier for thieves.
