A simple one works unless you have an DME ignition. A current pulse will need to be shunted to ground through a resistor to protect the computer/voltage regulator when the switch is thrown.
 This is a big red switch on the outside of the car but many street cars use the same switch mounted inside the trunk actuated by a cable. Get a good one and buy a spare key at the same time. Good luck! |
