ignition wiring

[Brasso93]

today i ordered a push button start for the track nova project and on the back of the ignition barrel i know i need to run from the black cable and the black with red stripe but which wire is which if that makes sense lol ??

[mowgli]

what model car?
what engine?
what make/model of switch?

because it is simply not a case of fitting a switch..

you need some wiring sorting out to get power to the ign/ecu & also something to power the starter.

You ideally want a relay in there too but the two ignition wires are the starter feed black/red and the other should be switched live on position 2

So is everything else wired up and it's just the wires to make the starter turn with pushing the button

i fitted one of these today to someone mk2 golf

i had the following wires

Black - Earth
Red + Blue - Ignition Live
Blue - Starter Motor

All worked well, came with a relay already connected too.

as you still have to put the key in & turn it, this item looks like it is really unnecessary..

i thought you'd gone for the rally type....

big aircraft switch to put the ignition on, like this

then a push button to power the starter..

so if, in a hurry, you need to kill the engine, you smack the switch downwards.

then you run the switch to the necessary ignition wires, with a spur off it to your starter switch kit..

then you can remove the ign switch.
