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! |

Dont have a wiring diagram handy, so from memory...
My switch failed quite a few years ago, maybe 8 or so? So I installed a generic push button from FLAPS that emulated the ignition switch circuit. I think I removed the yellow and a red wire from the back of the ignition switch, and connected to the new push button. Turn the key to "on", then hit the push button. Been working for 8-ish years now with no problem. And the new switch fit in a hole that was already under the steering column. |
