So I am about to start on the process of wiring a push button ignition for my FC, however I do not have a wiring diagram for the ignition. I plan on using an RFID setup to make the car a little less steable. I searched to see if anyone has done a walk through or write up for rewiring the ignition into a panel or single push button setup. I am going to be wiring in a panel, if you have any diagrams or pictures of the ignition wiring taken apart I would greatly appreciate it.

I plan to take pictures and document this step by step so that anyone interested after me can do the same if they would like, including an explanation of RFID and why you should add that in the mix.

 

Service manuals- including schematics- available here.

 

Essentially I am looking to break down the diagram into accessory on, 12v constant, ground. If I can split them and start wiring them into a panel I can use the RFID system as an accessory break and locate the fab receiver where that little dish is below the stick shift. I believe the RFID system I ordered requires 4 inches of proximity to receiver for the accessory break to trip.

 

Neat project, but the fact remains that the information you are seeking can be found at the link provided above. Wiring-wise, you are just installing an inline switch. It just happens to be activated with an RFID tag. Which is cool.

 

I looked in the link above through several sections of steering column, wiring, etc and none of it really clearly explained which wire was which. I think I should be able to determine with some splicing and testing since the back of the ignition toggle appears to have exposed points on it. If I can get my hands on a testing light I should be able to figure out which is which. Now I am just waiting for my Optima Yellow top to show up at the front door.

 

It's in the body electrical section.
