DIY: Engine Start Button
DIY: Engine Start Button
Engine Start Button:
1) remove the cover around the steering wheel(there are two screws...well at least on my car)


2) remove the screw by the key mechanism:

3)you will be working with the yellow wire and the black/white wire
yellow wire is your constant power and the black/white is the power to the button when the key is second position.

you will be using crimps like these to connect your engine start button:

4)find location for your button,connect the wires and mount them

Thats it and you're done! now when you put your key in second position can start the car with the button or the key!

sorry missed a part: On your engine start button there should be 2 wire connectors,thats where you'll connect the wires you bypassed in part 3.
With this mod you can use the key or the button;if you want to just use the button you ll need to cut the yellow ,black/white wire and connect it to the button.

Good point. Let me understand this, you have to put the key in, turn it to engine, not crank it, but instead use the engine start?
I really want to do this, too.
