CTR Push start button DIY install w/pics and wiring diagram

[jackolee]

i answered this already. the sedan has them on the door handle

[megrog2]

what gauge are those wires for the plug that you have connected to the button. I found a very similar connector and the wires are like 22-20 gauge Im thinking they may be too small for the current draw.

I'd like to know when you turn the key on and then crank it will the engine still start? or is that now disabled.

[Zeuceone]

its disabled or should be.

it depends on how you connect the switch to the ignition and starter wires. If you tap them you can still us the key, if you cut them you have to use the button.

That's what I thought. Thanks!

After looking at the schematic of the Ignition switch it looks to me that you only want to cut the yellow wire for the starter. This would make the new start button work and the key will no longer start the car. The way it's setup in an
S2000.

Any way to make the ignition lock not go to the "start" position, like an S2K? Where the key just stops at the "On" position and no more?

No you wouldn't be changing that. Everybody seems to be tapping into the yellow wire and the key will still start your car. Whats the point of adding this if you can still start the car with your key? If you cut the yellow wire per the diagram 1st post then the start button is all that will start your car not the key. Similar to an S2000. Make sense?

Question for the OP. Does your start button dims and brightens with the rest of the dash control lights? I noticed mine doesn't do that it just stays the same.

I only did the Start Button but not the JDM hazard button. And I noticed the OEM hazard button dims and brightens just like the rest of them.

I have not been on in a while....catchin up on some questions that have not been answered.

I used parallel taps in the yellow and white wires...nothing was cut as I wanted the key to still work as a backup. I accessed them behind the steering column cover.

so how does it work really. u stick key in and then turn once its locked it u hit the switch to turn on engine?

Put the key in
Turn it to the run position
Depress clutch
Press start button.

They are very small wires...dont know what guage. If you know what a PC fan wire is like they are about the same. You'll be using a relay which seperates the high current loads from the switch. Very little current will go through the switch.

no you cant make it physically lock at "on"...you would have to change out key mechanisim. As far as cutting or not it comes down to personal prefrence and also how much you trust your wiring. If you go all out S2k style and cut the wire and your wiring fails, your stranded. I personally left it connected.

pt 1. The switch will dim only depending on what you hook the bac wires up to. As seen in the diagram I hooked my ignition switch bac to the ACC feed. That way the start button lights up and stays on as soon as you turn the key on.
you could tap into the mph/km buttons for a dimming bac feed. but then the button wouldn't light up when you turn the key...only when the lights were on. I think my way is more badass..

pt 2 the hazzard switch is hooked up to the same stock wiring as the factory switch so of course it dims.

I want this so bad... how long did it take u to instaled???

[portabuddy]

HAY, did you guys know that its almost identical to the VSA switch... meaning that you can transfer the housings from one to another... BTW here are some Sweet inside shots

Oh and i found a bunch of aluminum rings that i can use to trim the buton. since i plan on doing it a bit differantly. but the ring needs some machining.

button.




and the LED.

[portabuddy]

OH. here is the internals of the VSA...





and the housing i plan to use...(the hazzard one for the eng. and the VSA for the hazzard.)

[KMM]

^I'm so happy that we got those macro rings

I can place the rings on the lathe but it's had to balance it right by just one person I would need some one to tighten the jaws as I center it

[portabuddy]

nono... i'll do it by hand on the polisher. anyway lets not clutter up this fine thread. I'll start one once we get closer. I just wanted to leave some cool pics here.

Ok I just ordered the Push Start button and the hazard button, But I have a problem. I have the K2 foglights and the switch is in the same location that the push start button will go into. Does anyone have any ideas or solution to my Dilemma? Oh I don't want to spend more money and buy the foglight stalk and harness.

[KMM]

well you can just wise the foglights right into the headlights so that they will come onwhen you turn the headlights on with out the need for a foglight switch
