Push button start

[89five.o]

So I'm tired of trying to start my car with a damn screwdriver and since I've replaced pretty much everything I'm thinking about putting a push button in my car. It'll bypass my problem while I look for it and it would probably be pretty cool. What do you guys think and do any of you have a push button start? I can't figure out where I would mount it. Here's some buttons I've been looking at.

I like the first button the best. You could maybe mount it in the right hand side of the dash under the gauges, or in the shifter bezel.

If you don't want to make a hole and you want to return to the key ignition later, maybe pop out the cig lighter and hide it away in that hole. I think that'd be the best!

The first one. Nothing like billet to bling up the car.
Put it down low by the shifter or in a secret place so you can impress your chick when you command the car to start.

just wire up ur horn to be the push start!



of course... remember that its no longer a horn while ur at driving...

would hate to have that next a-hole pull out in front of you and instead of him getting the "HONK HONK" he hears the "SCCHRRECHCEHCECHCHH" of trying to start an already running car

Yeah I also like the first button the most. The blue goes with the rest of my interior lights. I wanted to mount it in the area where the dummy lights are under the gauges but I dont want to make that panel useless. I like the cigarette lighter idea but I plan on putting my nitrous switches in there and I'll probably decide to keep the push button start if I put it in. Thanks for the input guys. Any other ideas?

No way to put the start button in on the panel with the nitrous buttons? Why not mount it where the key ignition is already?

Why doesn't the key work to start the car?

Pretty sure it's a bad fusable link somewhere. I've changed the starter, clutch safety switch,neutral safety switch,ignition switch,starter solenoid and I think thats about it Electronics and wiring hate me! I'm definetely going to let someone else wire up all of my nitrous crap lol.

What would be the procedure do install one of this??????

 

[Deleted member 87397]

Yeah, if you can install one of those and a kill switch somwhere and never even have to use the key again I'd be totally up for putting on in my car. Someone on here once said that you'd still need the key for some reason even with the start button, but I don't know if they were correct or not.

You would still need to use the key to unlock the steering column so you could steer the car. Not sure how you would disable that, but I know you couldn't get rid of the key until you figured out how to disable the lock on the steering column.

The circuit is very simple, all you need to troubleshoot it is a test light and some patience.

The key does that and something else as well. Right now I have to have my ignition in the on position and cross the solenoid (or in my case the relay since I swapped to a mini starter) for the car to start. The push button would pretty much act just like crossing the relay. Appreciate the info as well jrichker !
