I want to add a hidden remote starter button. Can I tap into the yellow wire under the passenger seat (used to have the interlock - but all that is bypassed)?
Switch tied to yellow wire and a switched hot? It will still require a key to switch to "ON" position - but I know the keyswitch will fail on me in the middle of the Mojave or someplace similar. Thanks in advance! |

Yes, you can do that. But it means that all of your starter current will go through the normal "switched power" part of the ignition switch, and I don't think that's designed to take that kind of current for long. It might work as an emergency backup, but I wouldn't be surprised if you needed to replace your ignition switch anyway after using it a few times.
You might consider putting a relay under the seat, then running a nice fat un-switched wire to power the relay, and using switched power and the new button to trigger it. --DD |
