start button..how do I do it?

[careyk]

Where did you buy that kit?> How much. How do you install it? Does it come with instructions?

[DJmart]

Personally I did not use a kit, nor did I have instructions.

I bought a momentary SPDT switch from radioshack, and I have all the rest of the wires and other necessary connectors.

I tapped into the yellow wire coming from the ignition switch wire bundle, inside the dash. I decided to use the switched positive 12v feed coming from the window switch assembly(tapped into that too) the one that also works for the rear windows, as the child-lock serves as a safety.

Ran the +12v feed from the window switch to one POLE on the switch, and wired the "yellow" tapped wire from the yellow wire from the ignition switch!

I am not much of a guide reader, and quite frankly if you are not above average with electronics and other electric wiring, I wouldn't suggest doing this.

You ain't kidding!!!

I read your instructions 3 times and I still didn't get it!!!!

DJ, do you have photos of your ride yet? If not, I sure would like to see some...especially of your pt at night...I like the blue!

[DJmart]

I don't have a ton of real updated photos, but I can show you these:

Great pictures of the interior of my car!

and

Foglight LED's and Grille LED's

The paint for the center bezel is in its final drying cycle, so I should be able to put it in either today, or late today, and I will take a picture of my new switch.

DJmart, I have the same footwell lighting setup as you! Mine is red though. 2 days before this thread started my girlfriend mentioned how the Nissan Altima had a starter button on it and that it was really cool, so i told her I would try it on my car. I had just figured it out on the day this thread was posted! crazy coincidence. The button i have set up is a red pushbutton with a hidden switch under the dash to enable/disable it.

Haha, no one will ever know besides you guys how to enable the starter-switch.... its so silly because its the rear window lockout button hahahha


I just washed, waxed, vacuumed and cleaned the entire car!

That is a clever place for it, I just put mine hidden and out of reach to passengers.

If you still have to use the key, what would be the advantage of the "Start Button"? That's the way we used to start the big trucks bac in the day.

[DJmart]

Its..... cool?

I just like the feeling of starting the car by the switch, it puts a smile on my face and passengers
