Excellent job! My tractor key switch went bad & figured Id add a button on here too now. Surprised how little I found online about starter buttons. Nice to have one already installed that bypasses everything till you have time to chase your bad safety switch down. Thanks
thanks for this video, I just finished installing a push button ignition with not much more info than this. very simple, almost impossible to do wrong. awesome video
Thumbs up, great video man. Your instructions are easy to follow, straight and to the point. I often find with so many of the @UA-cam instructional videos the person talks to fast, doesn't speak clearly or they're accent is so strong I'm unable to understand what they are saying and as a result I'm forced to either watch the video over often several times over or watch another video.
Thank You! Hope this helps me get this thing going! Yanked out and cut out all wiring, new battery, new starter, new selenoid and new push button ignition and nothing happens. Saw a fuse or two inside the tractor but nobody else mentions them anywhere I been here on YT. Did not see any other connection on starter but the thick red wire and bold it was on.
My shit toyota was stolen n had ingnition key port ripped out to need a screw driver to start it. That didnt bother me till i reemed out where i would use flathead to slot and turn it. Descusted with that now, ima try this. Thank you kindly!
I have a 2010 lexus es 350.this is my original push start button won't turn my car off,car running wasting my gas...I keep pushing the button n nothing ...I push again I'm tired by now..finally it turn off,what's going on ..need your help ...will be appreciated
you hook up one of the wires from the button to the selonoid, not the starter. hook up the other wire from the button to either the battery direct, with a inline fuse for safety, or hook it up to a 20 amp fuse in the fuse box, i would use the battery myself.
Hi, would I be able to splice into the starter "cold" wire coming out of the key cylinder, instead of running a new wire to my starter ? It seems my car will only start when cold, but once warmed up, the starter doesn't receive power thus womt start up again.
Question... what if my truck is older and I have a starting cylinoid on the fire wall.... one side goes to the starter... the other to the batt, is this the side I splice into?
Short. To the point . And no bullshit music. You fucking rock!!!!! Now , on a 1990 gmc truck I have that same push button that I wanna make a starter button. If you know , how do I wire it up? What color wire comes off the starter that I need to find?
With an early 70's v8 car: - how would I setup the push button where the key no longer starts the car, but is still required, and still runs all accessories. Would also like an ignition switch right next to the push button start. - any amp size button works? Some cool ones on the market but they seem to have low amps, not sure if that'll work. Same question for the ignition toggle switch. Thanks.
i did it on my 7.3 ,works fine, one goes to + battery other to small positive wire on solenoid starter.turn on key in pre-start and push button.easy.@@tatchell95
If both those wires are really thick, say 4ga. Then do not try to do this. Find a small wire that has to do with starting and hook up the switch there.
Do you know how to wire one of these on a tao tao 100cc chinese atv they are wiring nightmare and have only one fuse but its glass cylinder style? I have plenty of wire,and switch just wasnt sure if was different due to only one fuse and different style of fuse. Let me know.
A push button is not a single pole single throw switch. It is a momentary switch there is a difference. A single pole single throw is a simple on off. A push button energizes as long as it is held, once released it is deenergized.
So would I need a key still to unlock the steering wheel or can I just use the switch? Also if I was to put a safety (hidden switch) so only I know where it is to activate the button. Where would be the best position to add such a switch?
You still need the key. But you can somehow disconnect the start possition of the key so only the push button will crank the engine. I don't know the best place to put a hidden switch! You should keep that intel off the internet jist in case! Good luck!

IO think I found you're "lost fart" while trying to wire my John Deere rx75 this way, ran into rectifier and 5 amp regulator...what to do with these...please help, thx!
elitecssplayer Thanks again and sorry for so many questions but Do you need to A:Connect the screw wire to a separate fuse B:combine the screw wire with the same fuse as the starter wire or C: combine both wires together but the screw wire to its own 20 amp fuse?
Joe Viellieu No I don't think so. With this method, you still have to put the key in the "ON" position. This method is especially good for when you disable the start position of the key so you HAVE to use the push starter.
jr andablo Most hardware/automotive places will have a push toggle or spring loaded toggle switch. You habe to turn the key off as per normal with this method.
What year and kind of vehicle do you have? That is strange. You need a small 'cold' wire to signal the large 'hot' wire. Unless that is done somewhere else before the starter...
That's sounds like the one you want to tap into? If you hooked up a wire from the battery and touched that small wire, would it turn the starter motor?
Cold wire? Wtf it's called the solenoid switching wire, might want to use correct terminology if you are putting up videos for people to learn from pal!
Straight to the point the best got damn video on you tube.. Teacher of the fucken year hands down..not 5 but 6 stars....

I appreciate how simple you explained it, great job!
Qq11
the best explanation ever is this vid.it is perfect straight to the point and if ya do it right it works great thanks alot
thanks for this video, I just finished installing a push button ignition with not much more info than this. very simple, almost impossible to do wrong. awesome video
NICELY Done and With Reason why Keep it Simple.

Thank you for the kind words! I agree, folks needa slow down a bit these days, we live such an immediate lifestyle!
Been using this method to turn my vehicle on for 2 years now, haven't had any problems
Thank You! Hope this helps me get this thing going! Yanked out and cut out all wiring, new battery, new starter, new selenoid and new push button ignition and nothing happens.

Fantastic and simple information. Thank you
From 2020. Thanks lostfart. I think I'll do this to my C7000 dumper... maybe some undercarriage lights too, for the ladies.
Nice tiny spoon collection.
That's a great spoon collection on the wall. .
Thank you so much for making this video. It saved me a lot of money. THANK YOU! :-)
Nerina Tejeda glad to help!
Thxs u don't ever stop making these videos

You forgot to say what gauge wire to use and can I plug a 20 amp fuse for this into any fuse socket that is open, thanks.
you hook up one of the wires from the button to the selonoid, not the starter.
hook up the other wire from the button to either the battery direct, with a inline fuse for safety, or hook it up to a 20 amp fuse in the fuse box, i would use the battery myself.
Markus this was exactly what I was looking for. Cause I didn't know where to hook the 2nd wire up to! Thank you
Markus what selonoid? On the starter or ignition??
starter solenoid
Markus, that goes to the hot on the solenoid? and the other to the battery. Tks
What about the starter relay
thanks for the vid. that spoon collection tho xD
Love the video excellent explanation helped me out a lot

+pachink13, I don't follow...? Is that not what I did in my video here?
Good job young man.
if I just put wires on solenoid with push button wires,, would it work? ( no fuse),.Same way you use screwdriver the solenoid to start engine up.
Did you do this? Did it work I'm looking to do the same
i did it on my 7.3 ,works fine, one goes to + battery other to small positive wire on solenoid starter.turn on key in pre-start and push button.easy.@@tatchell95
If both those wires are really thick, say 4ga. Then do not try to do this. Find a small wire that has to do with starting and hook up the switch there.
is the cold wire always the smaller bolt on the starter?
I’m trying to find a push button starter that you hit the button one time and it starts. They have them on 2010 Nissan Altima
Thank you! PS on my 2001 Honda Accord EX manual., will this in any way affect the computer? Keep up the great work!
If the wire feels hot is it in correct install for push start wire set up
I used a little 20amp bottom and it didn't work. Does it have to be one of the big switches?
Trevor grubaugh There is no fuse in the toggle switch.
what is the cold wire? and or where is it located on most vehicles ?
Do you know how to wire one of these on a tao tao 100cc chinese atv they are wiring nightmare and have only one fuse but its glass cylinder style? I have plenty of wire,and switch just wasnt sure if was different due to only one fuse and different style of fuse. Let me know.

+TheBanjo53, So the difference is simply spring loaded vs not spring loaded?
i can vouch for this video it worked perfectly ty little brother and peace
Thanks bruv! Appreciate the love.
Nice!!....1 question; How do you cut off the vehicle?
You have to use the key like you would normally.
@@LostFart so u still need the key? THEN WHY have push button start? I thought that was the whole purpose was to get rid of the key...
@@Buick72100 the key can't start the vehicle, only the button can.
@@LostFart thanx...I was originally looking to add a push button ONLY start/stop...To Completely eliminate the key...Like newer some cars
@@Buick72100 those have key fobs so there still needs something else
So would I need a key still to unlock the steering wheel or can I just use the switch? Also if I was to put a safety (hidden switch) so only I know where it is to activate the button. Where would be the best position to add such a switch?
You still need the key. But you can somehow disconnect the start possition of the key so only the push button will crank the engine. I don't know the best place to put a hidden switch! You should keep that intel off the internet jist in case!
Good luck!

Do u drill a hole in the fuze? Or just wrap wire around fuse?
g loc I just wrapped it around the fuse, or rather I just shoved the wire into the fuse
Ok thank u have u ever had any probs doing this cuz I am doing this an using video
IO think I found you're "lost fart" while trying to wire my John Deere rx75 this way, ran into rectifier and 5 amp regulator...what to do with these...please help, thx!
You can't use a taco switch without a spring in it because it'll stay constant
sir mujhe auto switch se three button starter ko connect krna hai
How to know which cables should be connected? 😰
Do these work on dirtbikes?
Thanks
are you wiring this tot he starter motor or the starter solenoid
Solenoid
do you need to get extra wire or are you using the same wire as the starter
You need a new wire to go from the toggle switch to the starter motor.
elitecssplayer thanks and what would be the preferable size of wire to use?
12g
12g or 14g
elitecssplayer Thanks again and sorry for so many questions but Do you need to A:Connect the screw wire to a separate fuse B:combine the screw wire with the same fuse as the starter wire or C: combine both wires together but the screw wire to its own 20 amp fuse?
Remember guys anytime you're working with your vehicle electronic sistem remove the nagative terminal from your battery untill you are done working.
thanks buddy! 🤘
will this bypass the pats system???
Joe Viellieu No I don't think so. With this method, you still have to put the key in the "ON" position. This method is especially good for when you disable the start position of the key so you HAVE to use the push starter.
Thanks I only had to watch the first two mins lol
Thanks man, good vidio
where can i get these toggle switches and how would you be able to turn car off?
jr andablo Most hardware/automotive places will have a push toggle or spring loaded toggle switch. You habe to turn the key off as per normal with this method.
LostFart thanks man really appreciate it
No problem mate! Get it installed dude!
Rock On & Prosper!!!
Do you just pressed it again to kill the engine?
No, this just jumps the starter. You have to have the key in turned to ON and then OFF to stop the engine.
you made this easy
nice video. diagram was nice
How do you turn it off push again?
Derrpy Derp No! never do that just turn your car off with the regular ingnition switch you know with the key.
My starter has ONE single wire only. Have not seen any with two wires.
What year and kind of vehicle do you have? That is strange. You need a small 'cold' wire to signal the large 'hot' wire. Unless that is done somewhere else before the starter...
I have an MTD Tractor. Your video is mixed in with a lot of tractor videos about electrical problems.
Oh that is still interesting.. Have you tried to located where a signal wire (small wire) would be?
Yes there is a smaller wire that travels from the selenoid, same as starter wire, but it goes to the ignition button or key.
That's sounds like the one you want to tap into? If you hooked up a wire from the battery and touched that small wire, would it turn the starter motor?
Thanks man that work awesome. .
You forgot to put a relay conecting to starter
You don't have too
Where did u buy it that switch At bubba
You mean versa vice-a? waitamin... Holy shit its Kevin Bacon!
how good at diagnosing car trouble with sensors
What about ignition power and fuel pump power... ?
Ryan Millay That's what the key is for
Thank you.
Btw, it's VICE versa.
Woldd this work for 2005 chevy impala
+jus Sayin It should!
Then turn your phone off, if you are doing a video. You couldnt figure that out?? Cmon use your brain
Couldn't agree with you more sir.
Cold wire? Wtf it's called the solenoid switching wire, might want to use correct terminology if you are putting up videos for people to learn from pal!
That’s common terminology for mechanics to use when explaining is simplified
