"Engine start" button - wiring

[Pugme]

Haha, sounds easy then!!

I'm sure my switches are 15amp rated and the star tree r button is 50 amp

Cable, I have some 8 awg power cable which is leftover from wiring up my second alternator.

Multimeter, soleldering iron and I'm good to go haha

You can buy 40A (I think ) remote relay boxes on eBay for about £15
Even if they are not 40A you can wire the remote relay box to switch on a heavier duty relay or two.
There is your remote ignition switch on and off. you would still have to have a start button though.

I like the idea of flick flick start, be like maverick every time I drive! :-)

OK, I have now totally removed the key from the equation of starting my car it's there now for steering lock only and my aftermarket immobiliser stops the car being started without me but....

The issue I'd been having previously which I thought this would fix, is still there :-( I often go to start my car and it just clicks for 5-6 times and then fires with ease, I'd hoped this was the ignition switch being corroded, but now the barrel isn't connected I'm looking to move down the line. Is there a starter relay to check before changing the starter motor, weirdly if it clicks with the key and I connect jump leads from another car, it fires straight away!

Could be a dodge battery just on the limit of starting.
Just a thought.

Hmmm could be I suppose, battery isn't that old but I could do with a smaller one uo front as it's a smidgen in the way of the bonnet hinges, could be worth swapping it for an evo one, but my voltage is all good, it sits at strong 11's when off. And it's not struggling to crank at all. It just doesn't crank lol

there is not much in the starter motor circuit, have a search for davcom1 and his uploaded full wiring schematic for the UK spec galant so the starter motor circuit should be pretty much the same.

This is the connector
Attachment 59365

Looking at the pic there... I've had a problem with mine and the replacement arrived today. Is it simply a case of unscrewing that part and swapping in the new one ?

Anything to watch out for while doing it ?

Cheers
