HOW TO WIRE AND INSTALL AN IGNITION SWITCH PANEL!

[@James8639]

the relay is included to go inline with the power to the starter, the push button is used to turn the relay on so the high amps drawn by the starter are going through the relay not the push button itself other wise you could blow your push button, more than likely its not meant to have high current going through it. hope that helps, interesting video btw

[@Zarateiscool]

chris james thanks ! That does help, I'll try that out

[@James8639]

Anthony Zarate no worries glad i could help, it could save you a lot of problems in the future

[@StabnSteer]

Unless you sent a wire from the starter button directly to the starter (which I don't think you did), you are already running through the relay that the car uses for the starter, so I think you're ok with how you have it set up. Most systems can use the existing relay and not have to use the relay provided by the kit. With race cars, one may want to bypass the existing setup by the manufacturer to simply the wiring system, and thus the relay is provided.

[@Fuckoff-1]

@@StabnSteer Yep but also if he doesn't have a stock starter relay (none at all) then the button MAY handle high amps if the car is started very quickly. But OP please check your starter relay is working or you could start a fire instead of your car :p

[@DiscoGreen]

Correct. But if he just used the console wires that the key was using than he already is using all the existing relays. The relay that is included is good for new accessories like a sub amp or a electric fan etc. Hes cool. But i would highly sugest shrink tubing. The heat of the car will desentergrate the electrical tape in no time.

[@brockmartin9526]

I spent 3 days angrily watching this over and over for my 1974 F100. Turned out my battery was dead lol. Great video

[@Popxoebdts]

Old video, but this is by far the most helpful video to put in an ignition system. Helped me out a lot

[@ikke609]

Thanks for your video! I installed my switchpanel today and I used the relais as well. The relais connection is really easy: red wire goes in place of the starterwire, blue goes to starter and black goes to ground. That's all !

[@jbyank24]

"you know, I zip tied it..." Is the most Miata shit I've ever heard 😂😂 9:00

[@brandoncard9071]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU, I would have been lost without your video bro! With zero instructions in the package I had no clue !

[@Zarateiscool]

Brandon Card no problem! I was in the same position as you! Luckily I had some good people to annoy with all my questions and help me out with this, I'm glad it is helping others like you!

[@Zarateiscool]

Brandon Card no problem! I was in the same position as you! Luckily I had some good people to annoy with all my questions and help me out with this, I'm glad it is helping others like you!

[@brandoncard9071]

Anthony Zarate so funny story, it stopped working earlier , so I hauled it out of my dash, checked everything out, still wouldn't start so I ended up hot-wiring my car, only to notice I didn't have the main switch flipped after tightening some wires up 😂😂😂

[@Zarateiscool]

Brandon Card , damn!! That must have sucked! I would have been upset if that happened to me, I'm glad everything worked out and it wasn't a problem with my information! :) what kind of car did you install it in?

[@brandoncard9071]

Anthony Zarate 03 Honda Civic sedan, I'm gonna get ahold of a label maker and change the ACC's to rice, soya & #7 hahaha and yeah bro it was one of those moments where I had to question my IQ 😂😂😂

[@PiffGaming]

Thank you so much Bro.. Your diagram basically explained how I should wire most things in my car. Which as a noob I had no idea about.

[@georgelunt6133]

“If you own a ‘99 mx5” I smiled. Perfect

[@dev894]

so the same for 90-99 lol

[@The--Ghostspider66]

Yep just ordered it today I've watched till the end just to get the idea It did help Probably will revisit ones my ignition switch is delivered can't wait

[@LoneRonin77]

wheres the wiring for the switch itself? literally no youtube video has explained that

[@richardmahood6447]

So I can wire all of them to the first switch so when I switch it on everything comes on? Like I1 I2 A1 on switch one, starter to start button and that will leave me with 3 usable switches. I just want to make sure the switch can handle the load of those three wires. I’m terrible at electrical work but your video makes me believe I can do it

[@cesar1926]

friends and parents: why would you do that to ur car Me: CAUSE RACE CAR

[@cesar1926]

Gene Peer how easy was the install

[@chevinrivera7041]

Gene Peer Did you ever finish the video?

[@NigelTvAdventures]

I have 6 wires from my ba falcon 2005 can you help witch what goes where inputs outputs and crank 🤔 pls is that possible so which of my wires connect to where on the new ignition panel? Question 2 can I use a ignition switch from a Mazda mx6 it's 6 wires but has b1 b2 and ign 1 ign 2? How does that all work where's my earth's and how does it all shut off does it have its own off switch inbuilt on the panel so when flicked off cuts all power etc it's this right ✅️ 🤔 Cheers NigelTv

[@zragevii4705]

How would you get it where you don't need the key at all? Is it only removing a key cylinder? Looking at a civic for a dedicated runner.

[@NickSay-vb2qw]

How would you connect a kill wire so when you turn off the ignition the engine shuts off as well

[@mariamiranda8465]

Can I hook my ignition wires for my dash n fuel pump and radio to kick on to the one led toggle switch and just use the push to start to start my car and use the other three for my led off road lights

[@hyperdrive5531]

So what happens if you flick the missile switch down while everything is on...will it act as a kill switch basically?

[@Zarateiscool]

Basically, I’ve done it mid drift and then flicked it back on and continued

[@michaellorah9051]

The problem with this product is that they include no instructions or diagrams to explain what does what. I will be installing one on my 88 S10 so this is very helpful.

[@VexilGaming]

I’m trying to wire my 87 S10 to two toggle switches. One will turning on accessories and everything else and the other for ignition to start and run my truck. My key doesn’t work as it is and I’m using the ignition switch to start my car already. What do I need to do to get this to happen?

[@901Hitman55]

do you have to run a ground on your accessories switches

[@Deshawn730]

Thanks for the video man. My panel came with no instructions and no other video helped

[@Zarateiscool]

German BMXer yah I had the same problem and though that I could help people! I'm glad it helped!

[@thegoat7043]

Hey bro I have a question ok? So if I have a bad ignition switch on my car will the push to start bypass that? Or as should say start my car without the ignition switch?

[@Zarateiscool]

ye

[@LandonOldham-i1q]

Does anyone know if you can use this on a diesel with an immobilizer

[@pauljonas9918]

great video quick question the blue wire to starter is that a Negative wire? or Positive

[@oueey]

Do the car can turn off while running if a passenger switch one off ?

[@oueey]

Tad Savage in neutral or in park if its automatic ?

[@oueey]

When the car turn off do he locks the breaaks while running ??

[@bpwkendall]

yes, if the main switch is turned off.. it will kill the engine, brake booster and steering booster. which will make it very difficult to stop and hard to turn. so if you are a teenager.. ask a parent or guardian for permission or put this all on the left hand side of the car (in merica) to avoid dumb friends fucking with shit and/or a collision.

[@crayoneater68.5]

No it is activated by fingerprints

[@alexisnapess7716]

Can ignition equip nitrous boost? 🤔

[@stephenbautista4575]

Does installing the switch panel by pass anti theft I lost my key 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@taina7507]

Hey i have a 78 corvette im trying to do the same hook up with same ignition panel.. HELP PLEASE

[@Zarateiscool]

taina7507 what's the problem?

[@MRViLANMOTOVLOG]

so generally cars that start with a key (before the change you have done) they have a sensor/chip in the key which the car recognises and then starts. if you do not have that key anymore (because you start the car just by fliping the switch for ignition and then press a button) my question is...how did you went around that? how did you fool the car ECU or you do not have that? Also can you make the main switch to power everything rather then have to flip so many switches? i mean like when you put the key and turn it on ACC2 before it starts the car, and the rest you can cut the panel and have the main switch and button and flip the switch down and stops the car?

[@Zarateiscool]

Yah I didn’t have that, you can use the main switch to power the car and use only that switch. I just wanted it to be a little harder to start since I don’t have a key cylinder

[@scuzzysam6361]

Could you tell me some of the uses that I could put switches in my car for (I want LEDs, but I want to know some other things that I can wire switches to LOL)

[@Agent-cy5yb]

I used switces for lights and also to turn on and off my amplifiers, in case I drove bye police.

[@Agent-cy5yb]

Alos for my fog lights

[@pedrofox2609]

Excuse my ignorance. Is there a sequential order on how to start things? Should it be like this?: 1. Power to Accessories 2. Power to starter 3. Power to ignition And then all of them are left ON all the time? Time difference between needed between the steps?

[@joaquinarriagada298]

Could you help me pls, I have 7 labeled wires, IG1, IG2, ST1, ST2, AM1, AM2, ACC. How should I connect them

[@shweenousvonweiner9553]

Relay,.... it could power the unit so you can remove the cylinder lock, or relocate,...controls hight current to open or close a small current

[@AntonsChanel]

is there a way to make it so that you need turn the key to give power to the panel then flick the switch and hit the buttom to start it. I should want to still use the key. Don´t want anyone random to start up the car. pls help, if you anderstand.

[@Zarateiscool]

GlutteBoy all you need to do is cut the wires after the plug and before the key cylinder, the ones you want to be on a switch and button and then make sure to link the ones that get power from turning the key, into the switches, it shouldn't be too much more complicated. But you could also just hide the main switch somewhere to act as a kill switch.

[@AntonsChanel]

oh okey thank you. :D

[@mooomalooomabaloooma]

HOLY FUCK THANK YOU JESUS FUCKING CHRIST nobody explains how to actually fucking do it this has been pissing me off for about a week

[@relentlessimagetattooshop5438]

Made it very clear after a few rewinds lol thank you

[@buddaboynick]

Thanks for the help and making the diagram easy to understand

[@Zarateiscool]

buddaboynick thanks for watching!

[@jorgealfredopesantezortiz553]

Excellent. Very good illustration-thank you for uploading this video

[@SirFlipAlot]

I have the same switch panel and the light on the main on and off switch doesn't illuminate

[@michaeledwards2456]

i dont understand how you have the three small switches for ign one two and acc wired into the circuit can you please explain more

[@Zarateiscool]

michael edwards I just wired each of the switches for each key position on the cylinder. Like I show in the diagram.

[@Zarateiscool]

michael edwards I just wired each of the switches for each key position on the cylinder. Like I show in the diagram.

[@michaeledwards2456]

Anthony Zarate how are they wired into the red flap switch

[@Zarateiscool]

michael edwards constant on one terminal, All other accessories from the other terminal to the switches, then ground the third terminal sticking out of the bottom.

[@michaeledwards2456]

So on the acc terminal on the switch its wired over to the other three switches?

[@jordangosha4473]

I got this same setup and I can't get the light on the pushbutton to work, the toggle switch light works but not the one on the button

[@thejunkerer]

trying to understand the connections on the accual start button. There is these two bottom connections near the base... x1 and x2... i guess these are for the light. But which one is positive and negative. And then I dont understand why the supplied relay is bridged with a white cable between 85 and 30. Anybody got some info to me?

[@TTHEbestUSERNAME]

Mk2 Mx5, my steering lock turns off after the first turn of the key. Will this sort itself out if i have the key in and use the ignition panel?

[@Zarateiscool]

I used to just have the key in to sort the problem, as an extra measure of security lol but then I broke my key in it and it locked, completely unrelated to panel and then cut of my cylinder for that "full racecar feel lol"

[@JK4LIFE80]

How do I wire the relay inline?

[@xlr8xp66]

Do the NB and NA miata have the same wiring diagram?

[@MrBlackout23]

Great video! I don't expect I'll get an answer, but... Do any of you know how different are Miata and Mx-3? Should I be expecting any larger problems during the installation? Peace :)

[@Zarateiscool]

No, should be about the same process, just different colored wires.

[@MrBlackout23]

Thanks a lot, mate!

[@wheels.and.wrenches]

You have to use the relay. Thats why they sent it to you.

[@elceth]

Bro, did do you have a diagram for mustang 04?

[@owenbartos9352]

Do you need foot on the clutch?

[@mjwarlock]

Not if its in neutral

Might put it in the brz just to make it feel like I’m starting up a jet 😞

[@franciscorenteria4380]

do u know if a 91 miata has the same ignition harness I can't seem to find a diagram for a 91

[@franciscorenteria4380]

thank dude

[@franciscorenteria4380]

Anthony Zarate so if I wanted to run just the just the 1st switch and the push start button I could run the 12v ignition second 12v ignition and 12v accessory all in the 1st switch with the 12v constant and the ground

[@Zarateiscool]

Francisco Renteria yes and just run the button normally.

[@lukewilkinson9023]

I want to put one I'm my 97 mustang and it used a chipped key, will it still work with my car

[@xavierlavalley398]

Ive seen people put the reader and key side by side tape or zip tie them together then hide in the dash

[@amuyrizz]

it's okay, if installed without the relay? what relay use for?

[@Zarateiscool]

I spoke to my technician friend and I was told that if it is running without it then it should be fine. It may be required for more modern cars though.

[@brandonlara723]

I have everything connected but it won't turn the car on, all the lights turn on fine but ones I put the push the engine start nothing happens

[@brandonlara723]

Please help me asap

[@Zarateiscool]

Brandon Lara I would check to be sure you have the engine start button wired up to your starter wire correctly. If so then you should be fine, it would be a bad coincidence but it could be that your starter went bad, so try a jump start if you are 100% sure that you have everything wired correctly and nothing is shorted out. Also if you ever did short out the circuit, you may want to check your fuses, if the battery was connected while you worked on the car that could've been an issue. My Instagram is Zarateiscool so DM me there with pictures so that I can take a look and assist you further!

[@supreme2544]

Brandon Lara WIRE STARTER TO RELAY THEN RELAY TO SWITCH...don't wire a fuckin starter power wire to a little switch.

i figured out how to do the push start but idk how to make it so it turns off wen i turn off the switch and idk how to make it so it only turns on wen the switch is on

[@Zarateiscool]

If you route all of your power going to your button and switches through the main switch, you want to kill everything, then it should work.

Any way you could install this so that you need the car key? To make sure my car doesn't get stolen? Lol

[@Zarateiscool]

That's how this one is installed, you still technically need the car key, without it the steering wheel won't lock, but the car can be turned on, which is convenient and looks cool, hope this helps.

[@zragevii4705]

Perhaps a hidden switch before the starter

[@shanxs5573]

@anthony zarate...tats a really very helpful video out der man...just wanna knw d use of d relay included in d package..

[@jakethetamalejohnson1673]

I wish my brain could understand this stuff… Looks like im gonna have to stay key’d😔

[@amuyrizz]

can i start my car with all acc button off?

[@Zarateiscool]

In order to do that you will have to find the wire that is your "ignition 1" in my case, or the wire that corresponds to your last key cylinder position that is right before you turn it to start the engine. You could also just wire all of these accessories to have power with the main switch and leave the other three switches open for later.

[@amuyrizz]

thx so much its helpful

[@kriswhite4671]

it helps the lights doesn't it?

[@DrWylde]

would this make it easy for thieves to steal my car?

[@Zarateiscool]

Ellis Wildman well you still need to remove the key cylinder from your car to allow your steering wheel to move freely without the key, then yes it would make it easier, but you could Also add a kill switch in between the power and the red switch that you hide somewhere so no one steals your car ever.

Sorry it cut me off. I meant to say a locked steering wheel.

[@Zarateiscool]

It’s an old video, basically just find your 12v constant, that goes to the input of the red switch, outputs to whatever accessories you want or switches you want, then isolate the starter wire and put that on the output of the button, with the input being the 12v switched and you’re good

[@daddydawg1902]

Thanks for a very informative video Anthony. You mentioned the Relay Switch that comes with the Kit and Why it's needed. The relay is rated to handle the extra Amp draw from the starter motor and prevents that momentary draw from damaging the Panel. Here's a Link explaining this part of the setup. Thanks again. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pp2ZnWmorMugp7M

[@truejdm112]

thats your realy bro you need it just in case of a electrical short .... mut install ...

[@Zarateiscool]

julian hernandez why if I have fuses connected before the components I'm working on ? I'm curious

[@brandonb8543]

you don't need the relay that guy obviously does not fully know what he is talking about. yes you need to run a relay for high current devices( thermo fan, fuel pump, starter, lights, etc.) so if you have any of them on your acc switches then hook it up! but since your using it more as a replacement key switch to your existing factory wiring you just plain don't need it. yes you could us it and no it wouldn't hurt any but why add it when your car already has a starter relay that your key switch was already wired to? they include it with the panel cause its intended for a race car where you are adding that whole electrical circuit from scratch. I would consider putting heat shrink on and if you plan on keeping the car for a while simple up the wiring and run the wires right with a higher grade crimps cheap stuff never last and may cause problems down the road. it will pay to do the job right. best of luck tho.

[@Zarateiscool]

julian hernandez thanks for your comment and knowledge on the subject! I have done more research since then and the wiring has been cleaned up , soldered and heat shrunk. I've also added a fuse box for additional gauges and such, but yah I never thought about how it's going through the factory wiring at the time! Thanks for the advice again

Good man

[@ElectronicsForFun]

l think soldering wires is the dumbest thing you can do. sure it makes a very secure connection, the problem is if you fuck up or need to change something then you have to pull it out and start over. l think the best solution is wire nuts, they are very secure and pretty easy to undo if needed. you just twist the wires together and then put the nut over top of them and twist that and that wire won't come undone unless you untwist the nut off. l just never understood why people would solder the wires, the connection is pretty much permanent after that which means you're fucked if you have any plans to change anything or if you screw up.

[@Zarateiscool]

Electronics For Fun you're right but once you have the setup you want, soldering is fine, also you only lose an inch max of wire, so it's no big deal, I was saying I would solder wires together, not solder wires to the switches.

[@BigCatchGaming]

I am a plumber, where we solder copper every day. I prefer soldering my electrical connections as well because in my opinion it is a more secure and professional connection. If you mess it up, you do the same as you would with a copper pipe, you cut it out on two ends and solder in a new wire, or just cut the soldered piece out, or if possible heat it up to the solders melting point and pull it apart. It is all just a matter of preference though.

[@viswanathaniyer2372]

A good viedeo

[@mattnev8625]

use the relay

[@srhisey]

You are lucky you haven't burned your car down. You should seek a professional. The relay was probably included because the panel isn't designed to take all the current your putting through it. And it's illegal to have a car able to start and drive with a locked ign

[@Zarateiscool]

srhisey the panel is designed to take exactly the amount of current running through it and more. The relay is just a piece that may be required in more modern vehicles with a more complex ecu. However, in my case the car I'm dealing with is fine. I won't burn my car down, but thanks for the warning, I have properly wired and installed everything safely at this point, the video was my start and for informational purposes, you should check out my update when I release it, but thanks for watching! Also it is not illegal for keyless ignition and no steering lock here, where is it illegal for you?

[@supreme2544]

Anthony Zarate the switch panel CANNOT hand the power...there's a reason there is a relay with it...that dudes right your gonna burn the car down or blow shit constantly. Relay is meant to handle the high volts...not a switch panel..usually switch panels are just switches that connect the grounds to each circuit not the power. Never run the main power wiring to the accessories...it goes. BAT to RELAY...RELAY to ACCESSORY then relay ground to the switch to complete the circuit. Dude you need to research wiring and electrical.
