push button start

[ryan218]

started on mine tonight...


whats nice about this is i was able to run the power from the cig lighter harness... since i dont smoke and thinks it's 100% retarded i threw it in the trash...

is also run of that fuse which is a 20 so that works too...this was pretty simple...and im wiring retarded most the time.....

still have to finish up Saturday morning...i got to work Friday

works out well though...still have to have the key in the on position for it to start...even with they key out you can still crank it but it wont start.

yeah i know dirty!

My GT has that.

id run that push button off a keyon B+ so you cant crank it without the key.


i had one on my car a while back the way you have it. my GF was messing with it and someone almost got ran over.

Not hating...

But whats the point of a push button start on a street car? If you still have to put the key in the ignition and turn it why add the extra step of having to hit a button. Just coolness factor? Just curious.

I Used to have a push button that was hidden and it was the only way you could start the car......

 

[FrankenStang]

Mine was like that when I bought it.

Lol, cool.

Can't say I haven't had to do fixes like that in the past.

I had one on my '83....believe me, the "cool factor" wears off real quick.

 

[ryan218]

its not for the cool factor it's so i can start the damn car without a screw driver!

 

[payupsucka]

dont you have like another 1234567890 years before you can drive it? why not just fix right?

 

[RsStanG1987]

Seriously this is the best way to hit white trash status real quick..

I wired in a module that uses biometrics. Basically I just sit in the car and say "ignition" and it's as if I just turned the key... Then I say "start engine" and the engine starts itself. I can also switch to using a retina scanner which is located in the center vent, that confirms my identity before the voice commands start to work. I'm working on a way to use the bluetooth on my cell phone so the doors unlock themselves as I walk near the car.

NOW that's much better than a red wire going to the solenoid isn't it?


IT would be kind of cool though... all that in a car that doesn't even have AC lol

 

[Turkey Sammich]

Remote start is better.

no i want it fixed so i can start on the body work.

but still... how much can a real switch cost? Do it right the first time... <- coming from someone who spent over 50 hours modding his wiring system...

i tried it..

put a new starter solenoid in it, ignition switch and a neutral safety switch...didn't fix it....its either i can keep throwing money so that i can start it with the key or i can get it painted...what would you chose....my paint money is not something i want to dig into.

 

[Boss 351]

new ign. switch too? hmmm you have an electrical issue then... As long as the issue won't burn the car down, you'll be fine I guess... problems like that would bug the crap out of me though. I couldn't run the scantool on my car, took apart EVERY wire from the dash to the front lights and found some problems, that's fixed now.
