You never planning on parking it in public with your new thief bait or are you adding a hidden kill switch, which means two switches, which equals one ignition switch? |

Why couldnt you have the push button inline with the ignition switch? key in, turn it to on. push the button to start. and drive away? I know its double duty, but i think at that point its form over function. |

[/quote] That's how I set this one up (aftermarket ignition switch was "iffy" in the start position):  Waytek "engine start" pushbutton installed in the cigar lighter hole; no new holes or cuts or anything. "Switched +" from fuse box to push-button (hot when ignition switch is "on"), then larger yellow wire direct from pushbutton to a Ford relay on the starter. Font/type on the switch matches pretty well too . . . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Hope this helps. |
