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.
