I'm not sure who has more energy; Jeremy or the battery that's used to power the circuit? Either way, he does a great job with these videos, while entertaining as he's explaining.
I’ve always thought that doing automotive wiring was a complete pain especially because I’m still new at it but this is by far the easiest way to learn thanks for the great content
That’s fantastic! I’ve got lots of relay related videos if you find yourself bored today and are desperately wanting more! :D Congrats on getting your KZ working again!
I'm old and I've been using this type system for more years than I care to think about, but there's something about watching your videos that just fascinates me, maybe it's like a refresher course or memories of days gone, (I still work and still love automotive wiring). LOL. Keep doing what you do, and I'll keep watching. Thanks
I have a 1973 Chevy Nova (race car but street legal) and had a wiring nightmare today, thought I fixed it and went for a joy ride, only to have it stall on the highway 😮 After watching this video, I know how I'm gonna tackle this situation in the morning!! Thank you, very precise and easy to understand with your board presentation, so thank you!!
I’m glad the video is helping a Nova because I love them and have about a million hours invested into my friend’s 72! Good luck with your repair, and thanks so much for watching!
Love your channel. I did notice when I went to wire a relay bought off amazon the numbers and the colors were not the same. But your explanation of the numbers helped me figure it out!
Yet another great video full of helpful content. An idea for a future video, build a low fuel light using a NTC Thermister. Those of use running fuel cells still need a low fuel warning light where stock style gas gauges don't work.
Thank you! Wiring has always been my least favorite part of working on cars. I've traced wiring diagrams and blindly connected things -often with disastrous results. Now I have a pretty good understanding how these circuits work and how to safely put them together. Very well done.
I’m really glad the videos helped you make sense of the wiring! If you liked this, I have many more wiring videos you may also enjoy! Thanks for watching!
Glad you enjoyed it! If you have some time - check out my other wiring videos. Here is my personal favorite - ua-cam.com/video/Yz9kqxWkoHI/v-deo.htmlsi=CNrzrjR7BeHUt6Dt
I love this video I was working on putting this on my go cart. And was going to just leave it push button but I wanted to add a key on and off So nobody could steal the go-kart and now I know how thanks. I also subscribe.
Great vid, got this same switch system and couldn't make heads or tails of the instructions! Thank you! Engine Run Stand is gonna get done this weekend!
I add a "debugging mode" panel under the hood to bypass and take control of ignition, ecu and starter. Because I work on my car in a tight garage, going back and forth just to start the engine is not efficient for me. So I add a remote panel to turn on my car from the engine bay. I also add a NC switch so when I close the hood my circuit gives control back to key ignition switch
I have the big shut off switch in the back of my race car. I have a painless wiring switchboard with eight switches. Those wires will go to a relay board and from the relay board to all the labeled items where do I go from that point
I think you do an excellent job of explaining in non-technical manner. Something of lot familiar with wiring can't or won't do. Suggestion for future wiring, keyless?
Thanks for the kind words! When you say “keyless”, do you mean using a key fob to unlock doors and perform other functions? Or converting a car to no longer use a key?
Awesome videos! Your videos has taught me how to confidently wire vehicles from scratch. Plus its helped me in troubleshooting as well. Have you considered showing a video on wiring up a coil, distributor and an MSD system to a carbureted and efi motors? I checked your library and havent seen it if its there. Hopefully its something you may consider. Thanks again!
Great video, well all of your wiring videos are great. I wish you would do one on using universal wiring harness because that’s what I get questions on. It’s nice to just link your videos.
Great source of information. I have added three 12v lights to the race switches . coil/oil and fuel pump . I added a relay with a fuel pump. For some reason I am getting power to the small 12 lights, When I turn the fuel pump on the light goes out, I know it difficult to recommend a fix, but adding the relay to the switch does it have to be wired differently, thanks for the trips and Trix .
It sounds to me like you unintentionally wired the fuel pump switch through the bulb circuit of the switch instead of the accessory circuit. If your fuel pump switch has three terminals, two of them probably need to be swapped. If that is not the case, maybe your fuel pump relay (pin 30) is getting power from the same power source as the switches, and essentially sucking that power source dry. Check out my fuel pump wiring video to make sure you wired that relay correctly, straight off the battery. Good luck!
Your channel is Now my wiring school 😅 I just received two of the same Nilight switches, had some second guessing to what was there, no instructions, just a QR code 😅. I need a map, screen shoots of your videos (thanks, sorry😅). Really help my brain.l, And it's in color 👌 still need to watch 10x though
Love all your wiring videos and they've been very helpful in my Jeep build. I do have one question though... with the push button wired as is in this video, will it also shut the engine off when pressed?
@@WiringRescue Thanks for the reply, I see. I saw your alternator battery switch fuse box video as well and may end up going off of that method to shut things off. Thanks again!
Great video very informative and helpful 👍, I was wondering if you could make a video explaining and showing how to wire an electric Volvo power steering pump. There are some videos out there but I just love and understand how you explain the process. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Dude I have a brother who is super wire tech and installer, he has never explained it this simple. So even though you push the red button to start, you haft turn your ignition key off to kill the motor right ? Thank you so much. much.
Good morning! Congratulations on the video. I live in Brazil, and I liked what you showed in this video. What is the name of that tool you used to start the starter motor? If possible, can you explain its connection to the starter motor? Thank you very much for sharing your video.
Is it possible to add a light to the fuel pump switch/relay to show that it is on? I have a similar setup on my race car and the switch works to turn on the relay but won't light up the LED. Great simple videos. I will be subscribing.
is it better to hook a kill switch to the: positive wire for the fuel pump? or SS2 wire for the ignition switch...? which will have less damage &or less error Codes...? on a 2025 hybrid camry
Thanks for the great tip. I don’t have a race car/truck but I had to break my ignition switch due to I lost my key. No parts store or dealership has my part. I have an 85 Isuzu pup and looking for a way to redo my whole ignition system. This is a great way thank you. But I noticed that the system your using states for racing only?? But can you use it for just an everyday driving car?? What is the difference if there is any?? Thanks?? Again thank you for this great video, easy instructions and tutorial on how to wire one of these and also the relay.
this may be a silly question but I'm newer to vehicle/wiring. Im looking to get a unit with switches like that to keep it neat but want to wire the switches to various light bars/pods, could I just do a separate inline fuse and closed circuit to each switch instead of wiring them all together?
Quick question, the main wire with the fuse, you placed a 20 amp fuse at the beggining before adding the fuel pump. Once you added the pump you switched it to a 5 amp fuse. Why did you do that? 2nd question, would you have to repeat the relay process like the fuel pump if you add another higher amp item like lets say the window motor? Enjoying the videos and learning a lot, wish I found them earlier. Thank you.
I have this same ignition switch that I'm trying to use on an old 1300 vw engine. I'm completely reworking the previous owner's wiring and they had a wire from the on/off switch to the alternator, is that needed? Also, how would the wire going to the coil fit into this?
So I'm wondering I would like to have a push start with no ignition So if everything is wired as it should I'll have the power switch start button and 2 accessories switches Can I leave the accessorie switches on and just turn off the power switch or do the accessories need to be off because the relays are drawing power
Great video. I just purchase a completed cobra replica that used a 92 mustang gt donor car and it’s wiring harness and ignition switch. The 92 mustang is notorious for a bad ignition switch. I want to remove the keyed ignition switch and use a new keyed switch (as in your video just using the off and run position) and the push button switch panel that you have in this video. I understand how you’ve wired the setup in the video. My question is using this setup on a car equipped with an ECU that needs to be powered during the start sequence and some components removed (or switched supply voltage) to reduce the current draw during the start sequence. I’ve mapped which items are powered in the current “RUN” position on which are powered during the “START” position. Should I use an additional relay to remove the power from items removed during the start position or just use the signal wire to the start relay on the back of the new push button?
helo after looking extensiv about such content, i finaly found it very put together in this video. could you eleborate why the master switch needs ground ? is it for the lifght inside the switch and if there were no light inside the switch would it still need a ground conection ?
It is only used for the light bulb in the switch. If your switch doesn’t have that bulb, or you don’t care about the bulb, skip it! Thanks for watching!
Wouldn't the fuel pump kick on when you put the key in the "on" position (in a stock vehicle)? If so how do you wire in a relay to the on position switch?
It depends on the car. Some fuel pumps run for about 3 seconds when the key is turned on and then stop unless the engine starts. Other fuel pumps only turn on when the engine is rotating. So to wires yours, you would need to probably do what the fuel injection system is requiring. That varies depending on the type of vehicle.
Hey Jeremy. I am struggling finding a MPH/KPH switch, or a way to convert the RPM switch to work in the MPH/KPH range. What suggestions do you have? The reason that I don't want to use the RPM is because it varies so much, I want a more stable gauge for the switch. ThanX.
If im using my cars factory harness, do i need to worry about adding extra relays? Or can i wire the button and switches to the factory circuit that already has the relays to not blow my fuse
If you are using a factory harness that already has relays and fuses, you should be fine swapping this push button in place of the normal ignition switch. If you are running the toggle switches off of these same wires, it could be a problem because you’ll be stealing electricity from a circuit not meant to have additional components.
So question I have a 98 Saturn sw2 with the key switch drilled out because the key got stuck inside there, but can I buy one of these and use it to start the car without having acc on?
Off topic, but i need help! Here is what I am trying to accomplish...I have a digital voltage gauge. However it only has a + and a -. I don't want it to be on at all times. Only when I turn the vehicle on. ITs a nice little one. Looks semi "OEM" and has a cool little sequence when it starts up. Now, I have connected it to the vehicle 12V in the dash. But I want it to read directly to the secondary batterey (at the amplifier). My logic says a relay could possibly be the solution but i cant figure out if it is possable and how to do it.
This is very doable. You will need a 4 pin relay to make it happen. At the relay: - keyed ignition power to pin 86 - ground pin 85 - connect pin 87 to your volt gauge + - connect pin 30 to your secondary battery + (make sure there is a fuse in this wire, as close to your battery as possible. A 2.5 or 5 amp would be more than big enough.) Good luck - sounds like a fun project!
@@WiringRescue awesome! thats what i figured i just wanted to be 100% sure! when i do it i will tag you in the video. im doing a video series of the install on my channel.
So the push button part doesn't have a ground? I saw another video using this same switch setup, and the guy had a ground hooked up to that push button. I can't seem to get mine to work. I press the button and I hear one click, then every subsequent button press there's nothing. I was wondering if perhaps I still have an open circuit.
What can I do if I want to use the red switch and ignition button to start the car, but I want to shut everything off with only the key. Is there a way to say automatically disable the red switch once it has performed the ignition process?
@@WiringRescue it freakin worked!!!!!! With your helpful videos I freakin Rewired my entire 1995 mustang gt convertible in 6 months and everything works. Even better it started up yesterday. I also installed new heads, headers, rockers, push rods, cam and FiTech fuel injection. Thanks for this videos. You are sharing correct and accurate information. In this day and age people aren’t uninformed but rather the issue is misinformed. You are contributing and thank you!

Question: looking at my diagram, the wire going to the starter solenoid, would that be also called “ignition”?
this may be a silly question but I'm newer to vehicle/wiring. Im looking to get a unit with switches like that to keep it neat but want to wire the switches to various light bars/pods, could I just do a separate inline fuse and closed circuit to each switch instead of wiring them all together?
You could make the switches a certain “combination” vs just all in the up position for power. A combination lock of switches.
Quick question, the main wire with the fuse, you placed a 20 amp fuse at the beggining before adding the fuel pump. Once you added the pump you switched it to a 5 amp fuse. Why did you do that?

So to wires yours, you would need to probably do what the fuel injection system is requiring. That varies depending on the type of vehicle.
Fantastic video!
so theoretically if you wired the ignition to the starter and the push button could you use both to power the starter?
good question, it should be possible i think but i am no expert
do you need bigger wires going to your item from relay? or same size wire from switch to relay?
Can you run accessories off the ignition switch you added at the end?
Hey Jeremy. I am struggling finding a MPH/KPH switch, or a way to convert the RPM switch to work in the MPH/KPH range. What suggestions do you have? The reason that I don't want to use the RPM is because it varies so much, I want a more stable gauge for the switch. ThanX.
If im using my cars factory harness, do i need to worry about adding extra relays? Or can i wire the button and switches to the factory circuit that already has the relays to not blow my fuse
If you are using a factory harness that already has relays and fuses, you should be fine swapping this push button in place of the normal ignition switch. If you are running the toggle switches off of these same wires, it could be a problem because you’ll be stealing electricity from a circuit not meant to have additional components.
Can I use this on a zero turn riding mower? If so, do I still need the ignition key?
So question I have a 98 Saturn sw2 with the key switch drilled out because the key got stuck inside there, but can I buy one of these and use it to start the car without having acc on?
Great video! Thanks
Thanks! I’m glad that you liked it! Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much helped so muchh ❤
You’re welcome!
Off topic, but i need help! Here is what I am trying to accomplish...I have a digital voltage gauge. However it only has a + and a -. I don't want it to be on at all times. Only when I turn the vehicle on. ITs a nice little one. Looks semi "OEM" and has a cool little sequence when it starts up. Now, I have connected it to the vehicle 12V in the dash. But I want it to read directly to the secondary batterey (at the amplifier). My logic says a relay could possibly be the solution but i cant figure out if it is possable and how to do it.
This is very doable. You will need a 4 pin relay to make it happen.
At the relay:
- keyed ignition power to pin 86
- ground pin 85
- connect pin 87 to your volt gauge +
- connect pin 30 to your secondary battery + (make sure there is a fuse in this wire, as close to your battery as possible. A 2.5 or 5 amp would be more than big enough.)
Good luck - sounds like a fun project!
@@WiringRescue can a 5 pin relay be used?
@@RandomRichZ - absolutely! Use a 5 pin, but just ignore pin 87A.
@@WiringRescue awesome! thats what i figured i just wanted to be 100% sure! when i do it i will tag you in the video. im doing a video series of the install on my channel.
You should do a video showing how to wire an NHRA legal kill switch. Probably get a million views fast.
Is this one NHRA legal? Because I did make it, and it did get a million views fast :) ua-cam.com/video/Yz9kqxWkoHI/v-deo.html
So the push button part doesn't have a ground? I saw another video using this same switch setup, and the guy had a ground hooked up to that push button. I can't seem to get mine to work. I press the button and I hear one click, then every subsequent button press there's nothing. I was wondering if perhaps I still have an open circuit.
What can I do if I want to use the red switch and ignition button to start the car, but I want to shut everything off with only the key. Is there a way to say automatically disable the red switch once it has performed the ignition process?
I’m doing this right now!!!
Excellent! Good luck!
@@WiringRescue it freakin worked!!!!!! With your helpful videos I freakin Rewired my entire 1995 mustang gt convertible in 6 months and everything works. Even better it started up yesterday. I also installed new heads, headers, rockers, push rods, cam and FiTech fuel injection. Thanks for this videos. You are sharing correct and accurate information. In this day and age people aren’t uninformed but rather the issue is misinformed. You are contributing and thank you!
@@motor_citymuscle288- that’s absolutely awesome! Congratulations on your success! This is a topic not often not taught in ways that are easy to grasp. So I’m just trying to do my part to make the automotive world a better place! 😂 Thanks for watching!
