Push Start Button

i have a 1985 Ford Bronco carb. with a 351W A/T.

i am installing a push button start in place of the cigarette lighter. i do not have a wiring diagram and have pulled down the steering column to find the ignition switch.

i am going to do this project today, does anybody know what are the two colors of the wires i need to use? i have a manual, but no wiring diagram.

thanks.

To turn the starter over you just need to supply 12v to the top terminal of the solinoid on the inner fender to the left of the battery. You should use another relay to supply the power as it draws a bit when it engadges. Make sure you use a push button normally open (PBNO). I'd also have a normal ON/OFF switch (again use a relay) for the accessories feed.

The 12v trigger on my 93 is red with a blue stripe
