Ok, plan of attack.

Wire up aircraft style switch so when on, lights up the indicator light, and gives power to the push start button.

I must stress that this is not an easy job and do not cut ANY corners.

Ok well to start, you are also going to need a 20a minimum 4 pin automotive relay. This is because the push button switch you want to use is NOT designed to handle the current to the starter relay, and it will probably melt the switch. That switch can only handle about 1 amp. What the switch will act as instead is a small current trigger which will turn on the relay to supply power to the starter. Try and keep all wires as short as possible. Solder all joints where you are required to tap into the wires. The reason that relays ect will be used in this installation is because this is just not a straight forward push start and because you are using a low current push switch.

Don’t forget that the item you showed me from Maplin is ONLY a cover for the switch. You will need to get item JK26D aswell, which is a dual pole single throw toggle switch, which will have 4 pins but 2 dedicated conductors. Please make sure you use properly crimped 15 amp spade connectors on all your wires and switches.

Ok to start.

Find the black/violet wire coming out of the ignition barrel and tap into it. DO NOT CUT IT. Use at least 5 amp cable. Run the wire you tapped into the black/violent wire with to one pin on the aircraft style switch. You will then need to double this over to the other pin inline with the pin you have wired it to. Here is a diagram:









As you can see, you then need to take a wire from one of the other pins to the positive terminal on the indicator light, then take a ground wire to the ground pin on the indicator light. If you want to test so far without wiring up the wire to the push to make switch, just turn the key to ignition and flick the toggle switch, and the light should light up.

Ok, now we take the wire from the last remaining pin on the toggle switch to one pin on the push to make switch. Then from the last pin on the push to make switch, we take that to the trigger on the relay, which is usually numbered pin 86.

Now for the relay wiring. You now need to use a cable as thick as the black/violet and black/red cables. 17a cable should do, a 2/5m roll is usually about £3/£4. Once again you need to tap into the black/violet wire, ideally after where you tapped into it last time, not before. Then take this wire to pin 30 on the relay. Take a 17a wire from pin 85 to a clean earth point on the chassis. Then you need to take a 17a wire from pin 86 on the relay and tap it into the black/red wire coming out of the ignition barrel.

Make sure all connections have been soldered properly and adequately insulated.

If all has gone well, you should be able to turn the key to ignition, flick the missle switch which will turn the light on, press the push button and the car should start
