push button start on 1st gen?
okay, I replaced the starter on my car and it still won't start... when I replaced the starter I got a new solenoid with it.. so whole new unit..
well, dumb car still won't start. so instead of replacing my ignition system ( the key thingee) I've decided to just get a push button start. I was just wondering if anyone on here has done it. I just need to know where to hook up the wire on the starter from the switch. I don't want to start putting wires on the starter, and blowing something else up.. so any help would be appreciated. Thanks. God Bless. John W. |
PM v8kilr
Your gonna need to wire a relay from 30amp+ solid 12V to the solenoid wire controlled by a negative trigger relay |
uhm...
speak english??? I got lost after pm v8kilr (which I'm doing after I post this) thanks for the help, I'm gonna try and get ahold of v8kilr |
Jimmy54 has the same thing done as well. You could PM him.

here is a nice little write i just did,
this is truley the best way to do the job, but i did not go with a negative switch as mike p said to do, the reason is found at the bottom of the text these wire colors will work for 82-85 rx7's ok if you want to keep your key to turn on the ignition, but just want a button to start it then here is how you do it, i recomend that you have basic electronic knowledge you will need these things a push button of your choice a standard relay "you can pick one up from radio shack as well as an alarm shop or even a best buy" and a little bit of wire if they ask what kind of relay then tell then a single pole /single throw relay will do just fine,"then you can sound smart" also request that it be 30 amp or higher if all you can get is two 15 amp relays, then you can wire them identical side by side and you now have a giant 30 amp relay, i dont suggest this however because space is limited the wire for the push button it self can be 14 agu and you will need about 2 feet to be safe then you will need a little wire for the relay do not go any smaller then 12 gauge ok take the column plastic panels off and the lower plastice panel to access the ignition wires here are the colors to look for start wire - Black/Yellow ignition #2 - Black/Yellow + 12 Volts - White/Red ok start by finding these three wires, the large black/yellow will be your starter wire the smaller black/yellow will be your ignition #2 i will explain why to use the ignition #2 wire over the #1 wire later ok know that you have the three wires its time to get dirty. make sure you have proper connectors and/or solder w/ heat shrink tubing you should not use electrical tape, if think you have to then go ahead, but a true profesional does not use electrical tape unless it is to hold a large group of wires together,which you could also use a zip tie for. mount your push button and make sure the wires are accesable run one wire from your push button to your igintion # 2 wire "small Black/Yellow" get out your relay and get ready to wire here is the run down on the bottom of your relay you shoudl notice numbers some have 5 pins others only have 4 dont worry if you have 4, you didnt get cheated and it will work fine here are the pin numbers you should see 30 85 86 87 87a "5 pin only" 85 will go to a ground 86 will go to the other side of your push button 30 will go to + 12 volts "White/Red" 87 will go to your starter wire "big Black/Yellow" there is no need to cut the starter wire, just splice into it now the good part the only time your push button will work is when you have put the key into the ignition #2 position this will prevent from false starting when the key is not in the igintion, or when the key has not been fully turned to the run position ENJOY:D |
oh yes people rate this,
it should go into the archives:D |

I just wanted to thank everyone for this, I'm going to go to the store and buy the relay, some wire, etc...
I just hope I don't screw anything up... hehehe, knowing me it's very possible, but I think I can handle, I've had experience in wiring up alot of neon lights, I think I'm the only person on this forum with neon lights underneath there car, and I have alot insid also.. anyways, this shouldn't be to hard... thanks for the help, John W. PS: I'll post later when all the wiring is done, and let you know that it worked (v8kilr assured me it would) Thanks again! |
I tried the wiring stuff today.
all I managed to do was put the fuel pump on a switch instead of make it a push button start, I've got an 83 Rx-7 and I don't know what I'm gonna do, I'm going to put the wiring back in place. pleasse pm me, or email me at wwjbdoin@aol.com or just reply here. I'll try to check every hour, thanks for the help. John W. |
what do you need to know?
i rewired my whole car from the front of the door all the way back, that includes the whole back half of the car, tail lights,fuel pump,fuel door,blinkers,license plate lights,etc... my igintion doesnt even have a key, it has a switch and a button, my car had wire problems that you wouldnt believe |
My car really needs to be rewired as well. Later though.
Your write up is good, and I'll definately give it a go soon. Hopefully I won't have any probs. Anyway, 5 stars for a good effort. See ya Christian |
Read that 3rd gen link article. It's step-by-step, but read the WHOLE thing before you carry it out.
You can splice the wiring harness from a 3.5" computer drive into your ignition harness and just plug in a stock Honda S2000 switch, then mount it in place of your cigarette lighter. |
resurection of an old thread...MAWAHAHAHA
ok enough evil... how do you take the cig lighter apart so you have a hole in the rectangular metal souround? thanks |
the site is down....
|
what??
|
|
what about the cig lighter? how does one get it apart with out trashing it?
|
i mean the housing not the atcual lighter
|
I have a kill switch wired to my starter, so you have to push the button while turning the key. Have fun trying to find the button though.
|
anybody?
|
should just be ehld in by a screw and a press-fit
|
cool, thanks
|
so howdo you actually start the car?
i take it you just push the button down untill she starts and then let go? hmm... im on holidays now... this sounds mighty tempting! |
