WARNING: THE S2000 PSB WON'T FIT DIRECTLY ON THE HAZARD'S LOCATION.
YOU HAVE TO MODIFY THE BUTTON A LOT.

So what all parts do I need. I have a friend going to help me Wednesday. I pick up the button Tuesday. I bought the 30A/12v relay. And I have extra wires. Anything else I really need to make this work or is that all I need?

Ok so Where do I get this part? Circled it in the attachment since I'm at work. I read you can get it out of a floppy drive but what if I don't have access to that. Where else can I get gone?

Also consider a quenching diode. It absorbs the back-EMF from the collapsing magnetic field in the relay. Coles notes.... it preserves the life of your start button by preventing damaging currents.

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

Hmm a power supply harness to a floppy drive? I'm guessing, as my button came with that...

Where did you get your button from that it came with that? Did you get the whole wire harness too?

Yeah I got it off ebay. It was like $45-50 with the button and relay pre-wired. Probably a bit more than I could have spent if I had pieced it together, but it was convenient :)
