just run a wire from hot side of nutral saftey switch to one side of the button and run the other one to the s terminal on the solenoid.
dont go right off the battery. it will start in gear and could cause someone to get hurt.

I did a search for pushbutton starter wiring and saw one that used a Honda 2000 pushbutton starter assembly, I can't find the link I used but it was an easy afternoon project. It slips into the lighter assembly has been trouble free for years.

Quick question tho... Did using the 2000 Honda system completely do away with the keyed switch? Or just make it able to start with the button? I really want to do away with the ignition switch all together

I left the key in place for a measure of security, you have the acc. position and on but when turned to start nothing happens. When palced in ON you hit the starter button (also tied into the neutral switch). Hope that helps. I saw lots of tech articles looking around last night and a number of youtube videos showing installs, not enough hours in the day to read everything avialable

77460Ford what are all the switches that you have. Nascar is the same. They flip like 4 switches then flip a last one then the engine fires.

The 3 in the ashtray are for the nitrous system; master power for the system and a toggle for each remote bottle opener.
The 2 on the dash are for the pre-luber & fuel pump, beside is the red light warning when the reverse camera is on.
Nitrous purge and activation on steering wheel.
Roll control on the shifter.

I'm outside of Leavenworth about 15 miles closer to Winchester. Good to meet another Kansan!
Thank you 77460Ford. I was thinking that some of those were for nitrous. Do you do mud runs?
