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.

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
