the size wire to use will depend on on the amount of current that your fuse is letting pass though. I would not go below these numbers here:

Fuse - guage
7.5 - 21
10 - 19
15 - 18
20 - 17
30 - 14

Before installation, i tested the button operation, found that 5-pins,
pin-1 and pin-2 is normally open contact, which when u press the button there will be a closed circuit.
Pin-3 is not in use.
Pin-4 and pin-5 is for red led.
Below is the wiring diagram i figured out :



there is a option to connect the pin-2, either to the acc +12v or brake pedal +12v signal.
By using acc signal, the push button is always stanby to ignition once the key is on acc, this giving the potential to accidentally press on the button and crank the ignition again even after the engine already being started.
By using the brake pedal signal, ignition only happen when u press on brake pedal and the start button together, it prevent accidentally ignition as mentioned above.

Once thing i noticed that, the red led very dim, not bright enough.

Like so... As far as i know, i'm the only one here to have done this.

which one is the correct one? I think it's the right one but i want to make sure the left one is not it for sure.





ok so i figured out that the right one is definitely the one to the floppy drive but my problem is it only has 4 wires and not 5 like in this picture.



so will this work or no?

I opened up another old computer and it only had 4 wires as well.

Here are some links:

12vdc/30a automotive relay

you will also need some connectors they are as follows:

1/4" fully insulated quick disconnects

wire tap-in squeeze connectors


4 female quick disconnects for connecting the wires the relay

4 wire tap-in squeeze connectors if you decide not to solder 2 of the relay wires to the brown harness (white and brown wires) nor the two wires from the engine start button to the positive and negative terminals of the cigarette lighter

*note that the quick disconnects come w/ male and female ends. You will only need the female ends which look like this:

female flag crimp-on quick disconnect



if you need anything else please let me know

this is where i had to make the hole behind the dash or the push start button would fit

Just found this: advanced keys - intelligent unit 102

in summary, it's an "aftermarket smart keyless entry kit looks similar to that of bmw/lexus's "comfortaccess/smartaccess card". The access key is pretty small, about 2/3 of a credit card and works on a passive-active uhf-rfid system and it has 2-3 meters of effective range."

what's interesting is that they say it comes with a starter-enable output that act as an anti-theft security feature for the push-start button. (output is disabled if an valid access key is not in range). I can't wait, gonna finish my push-start button and with this product, keep you guys posted.

Then we do the install.

Even with s2000 start button, wiring is same as in this thread.
I don't think the s2000 button lights up though.

This guy on ebay sells the fd2 start button with housing for cheap:
