How To Add Push Button Start To Any Old Car or Truck

What Guage wire did brought use?

2002 buick lesabre limited?

Regarding your wire to the starter motor, you call it a "trigger" wire. Is this connected to the solenoid? It appears the starter motor always power and the solenoid doesn't have power from the ignition switch anymore.

Reading some of these comments and everybody seems to be joking around or not paying attention to the possible benefits of doing this push button ignition I believe the point was if you are unable to afford a new ignition switch then you could put in a couple dollars worth of wiring and a couple dollars worth of a push-button switch possibly keeping the total around $10 or even less now what you could do is hide that push button switch then you would have yourself an added security especially on these older Toyota trucks that seem to be very easy to steal

I want to put that push button on a Chevrolet z71 94

That's the clock plug for the models that have a clock.

What's the point if you still have to use the key?

I gotta 96 gmc sierra 2500 couldu do a video about wiring the acc to 12 v from the coulum shroud

This is cool. But kinda goofy. You turn the key one click to be able push the turn on button. It’s almost more efficient to turn the key another turn lol

Great video. It's a Biggg Help!!

Question- Are you still able to turn the key backwards and activate the accessories?

Also Are you able to wire it where you turn the key, press the brake , and then press the engine start button

I’m trying to do this too my 85 FJ60

What kind of wire did you use?

Maybe a running a relay as well would be safer.

What about uh 93 Chevy caprice? I’m guessing wire from starter, battery, and the body.?

So did you unplug the wire on the original ignition that turned the starter? And why did you have to run a separate wire to the starter if there is already one there on the old one? Novice asking

Old semi trucks had a similar setup the key was on the right and the starter button was on the left by the driver side door.

So do you still need the key to start the truck/car, or can the key slot be turned in the off position, but the button will still turn the vehicle on?

I have a 1987 toyota mr2 I'm trying to do this with. I ran a new cold wire all the way from the starter to a button in the dash and soldiered a new wire to the ignition switch. My cold wire on the starter had resistance and needed to be replaced. When I try to push the button it worked initially (my starter solenoid is also bad) but it blew the 7.5amp fuse that runs to the ignition. Have I wired it wrong or do I just need a 10amp fuse or something? I have the diagram and drew what I've done but I don't know anything about car wiring and am learning on the fly
I want the car to need the key on in order to start just like yours but I have a simple 2 connection spring-loaded button (positive to positive)

Did you leave the old trigger wire on the starter or did you remove it and put the wire shown in the video?

What about 2006 dodge ram 1500 with roll up windows?

How about ina Cadillac brougham 4dr

I did this 45 years ago to a 66 volvo , the ignition switch went bad and the replacement was 150.00 just for the part. so I bought a key on and off switch and a push button to crank for 10.00 and worked great.

I think that would have been a clock spot
