[@WAXXWIZZARD]

I actually thank you guys for this, I installed one just under the edge of my seat. The day after I come out of Walmart to someone sitting in my car trying to start it, but couldn't find the button. The police showed up shortly and one more dirtbag is in the brig. THANK YOU GUYS

[@WAXXWIZZARD]

+Andrew Reed I installed it originally because my ignition is funky and doesn't work properly. Being a 25 year old car and all this was a simple temporary fix.

[@JJ_ExMachina]

+Andrew Reed did the exact same thing, installed it under the dash board out of site,,, came out to my van to see someone trying to steal it (1969 Chevy Van90, just like the ol Scooby-Doo van) My ignition switch stop working correctly... Anyway things didn't end well for the thief.

[@JJ_ExMachina]

[@eddiechappell9729]

First off - I love these guys they are hilarious and helpful - 2nd the best way to install these push button ignitions is to wire them slightly differently to bypass the key all together - rip out the original key ignition (you can use a slide hammer if you don't want to take your time with it) install your push button where your key ignition used to be and then no redundancy.....of course anyone who gains access to the inside of your car can take off with it....but at least you don't need the key anymore. There are kits for push button ignitions that have a activation dongle that you hang on your key chain - (prevents starting when dongle isn't within 3' of senor in dash)

[@mattydlo]

U answered my question perfectly but what do I do differently than them with the wires?

[@jozefbeska9877]

+FaKe_narrow Except to start a plane usually you need to flick a few switches around the flight deck like on the throttle quadrant youll find the engine cutoff switch and on the overhead panel youll find different hydraulic switches which you need to switch before you can start the engines

[@hadeealhassanawi6413]

+FaKe_narrow Planes have way more than a few switches. If we're talking cold and dark, you'll need to start up the master battery, then the APU, wait a really long time for it to start up. Then you align the IRS allowing you to get navigation. Then you switch on all the fuel pumps and hydraulic pumps. Air packs. Isolation valves. Engine/APU bleed. Then when you're ready, you push back and you switch on the ignition for Engine 2. Wait until you get 20 N1 then you switch on the fuel cutoff switch. And you repeat for Engine 1. When all that's ready, you switch of the APU and ensure the ignition switch is on the FLT mode.

I think what they were really asking for is a start button like many of the higher end cars coming out recently, where it detects the presence of the key in the car and starts without you having to take it out of your pocket. I assume they failed very hard at describing their desires.

[@troyguinn303]

Goodness 😂 as a long time MCM viewer and sub, this is a good throwback video. I recently had to do the same with my 1988 Jeep Cherokee as it has a mechanical rod linkage to the ignition switch and ignition cylinder. The rod was bent so instead of going through the effort of fabricating a new linkage and attempting to properly realign the ignition switch to engage on "crank".. I ordered a SPST 50a switch for $6 shipped to my door. I have enough spare wiring laying around and some inline fuse holders. With all my heat-shrink crimp connectors I should be able to cobble together a solution to the no crank. It starts just fine when you short the starter solenoid so I'm assuming this will do the trick!

doing this is a good way to save your ignition barrel wearing out. like a common issue on holdens like vt-vy models, guys are always replacing the rear throw in spring in the back part of ignition barrel. being a plastic part it wears out fast. a button start saves key cycles meaning less wear.

[@Trades46]

Believe it or not, current Ferraris have to insert a metal key and be turned to start up the system, but the engine doesn't fire until the red Start Button on the steering wheel is pressed. So it's a 2 step process. Makes starting the car more of a chore, but in a Ferrari it is more of an event. Pointless on any other cars though.

[@Trades46]

***** For BMW this is true; there's a slot for the key which needs to be inserted before pressing a start button. Kind of silly IMO. Mercedes have a traditional plug & turn ignition key (but the key is not metal but a plastic tip which goes into the slot). More expensive MBs with Keyless Go has a push button switch, and works as long as key is somewhere in the car.

[@King250sx-R]

The brake pedal switch works on an open loop circuit so when you hit the brakes it closes the circuit. If you tap into that with your button then when you hit the brakes and the start button it will turn on the accessories and turn the starter motor for as long as you hold the brakes and push the button simulataneously. Then you only need to push one button instead of flip a switch, push the start button, do the jig, slap your grandma, and eat a turkey sandwich to start the car. It's easier than it sounds. The starter engage wire, start wire to the ecu, ground or earth as aussies call it, and power constant all run to the key tumbler switch. If you take the starter wire and run it to the brake switch power out, and the accessories or power constant wire to the start button, you can access the accessories constant power or switch power and by holding the brakes, complete the circuit to run the starter in one motion.

[@bearium91]

Kinda reminds me. of my last car, a '99 Camry. Didn't have a formal "Start" button per se, but there was a button you had to push and hold to get it to start because the key alone wouldn't turn it on. Really fun too when the car sounds like a pissed off lawn mower. Lmao. Ah memories...

[@garystinten9339]

There are RFID chipped key kits that basically delete the key start.. or cap and switch the key ignition (meaning if the RFID fails, you flick the switch to switch over to key.) So that only the switch works.

[@APGames0101]

[@Candesce]

Motorcycles also have a starter button on the right handlebar which I always thought was a bit weird. This is standard on like practically every motorcycle ever made. I suppose it's faster to turn your bike back on after stalling it or something if it's just a button you can press with your thumb instead of having to move your hand to the ignition though.

[@mx3rider519]

this mod isnt useless i bought a car with a broken 1 piece steering colum. in other words the key deal doesnt come out. so instead of buy a part that cant be replaced. i put one 2 way switch for acc and on. then another switch for start. and well $25.00 later i had basically the same thing u got except no key. so i could go outside in the - temps start my car and lock it while its running and still have the keys. i think its a great idea atleast the way i did it. lol i got arrested one night driving home and the cops were letting my friend take the car. and 3 cops and my friend for 1 hr while im sitting in the back of a cop car cant figure out how to turn my car on. lol they had to let me outa the cop car to show em. and sence having my switch start ive missed it in the winter. and ive thought about doing it to my current car.

TheFilledk Depends on the car, vw doesn't require clutch when in nuetral but most cars do require the clutch to be depressed if starting the car.

I usually bypass all of my "clutch to start switches". It allows me to use the start buttons and what not without pushing the clutch down and if the car ever breaks down, I can use the starter while it's in gear to move about 100 yards.

+Aps Singh No it doesn't.. The Fuel Pump/Ignition Module will not work until the the ignition switch is at Key On Engine Off. Position 3 (Start) is just a current to the starter relay.

[@richardhague801]

this idea may seem stupid but for some of us it's a practical solution. my ignition powers up but the connections when starting have worn and it can take a monumental effort to get it to start. this cheap button from china is a more viable solution than tracking down an expensive and hard to find replacement ignition for my old van. thanks for the great tutorial.

[@stevenjr9205]

awesome video guys! was thinking about doing one to my vehicle as well. just may do it. you guys made it look easy but its not lol. thumbs up! might be kind of lame but hek who wouldnt want a push start fro the cheap price you can get them for? next to my car audio volt meter,bass knob and digital eq (epicenter with db meter) this thing would look awesome! lol

[@at90percent]

The advantage to the start button would be if it starts the engine without killing all of the interior power in the same way as turning the key does. I see the advantage of that as not killing your Bluetooth connection on the radio when you've been idle listening to tunes, then you want to get going. The standard key start kills the radio first to start the car. Does your start button do this? If not, there is the advantage of it.

+Pianoman 70s style ok I'm not actually sure if you're trolling or not but it's not the key that's killing your radio, it's weak battery, you might want to consider charging it before it dies completely.

[@at90percent]

Max Interesting you chose to comment. You sound like you don't know anything about cars. Whenever you start any car with a key, when you turn it to start position it kills all power to accessories to ensure that all power of the battery is available to crank the engine. This is normal for any car with key start.

[@maxiu..]

Pianoman 70s style none of my 3 cars do that (turn off the radio or stop playing music when starting) so I guess I didn't think it would be a feature. If your car does that on purpose then I guess you're out of luck because that's ECU programming. Sorry for wasting your time.

[@at90percent]

Max What country do you live in? Every car I've ever owned in the U.S. does that.

[@aaronszechter3771]

+Max It really depends on your car's electric installation. In two of my cars it's different - in one of them ignition kills the radio, in other one - it doesn't. Also in first one I need to put and turn the key to make radio work, when I don't have to in second one. It has nothing to do with a battery.

Why not just drill it out with a 5/8 drill bit or just smaller than the button

[@BallisticSheriff]

This was the best Opening!

[@leeyang1990]

nice work

[@strangeperson700]

How do I fix it so that I absolutely need the start button to start? planning to have it hidden to prevent theft.

[@ob9444]

+Strange Person! xP remove the wires from the key barrel!

[@ViperGamingDB]

Thats called a kill switch search that

[@a73capri]

Find the wire that goes to the start position and cut it instead of just splicing like Marty did. Now connect the start button to the 2 ends of the wire you just cut. The start button will now be in series to your key switch instead of parallel to it (the way it was connected in the video).

[@calais86]

+Edward Fenton can you still start the car using the key?

[@Swordie100]

Of course not, that was the whole point..

[@SilkStreets]

I would install it on the roof (inside) I think it would be unique.

[@copedipper25]

...just let the back of it stick outside of the car through the top of the roof

[@SilkStreets]

copedipper25 Yea sure

[@lionellinesfan]

ikillzombies59gaming drag cars have had the switch panels on the roof for years, nearly all drag builds have them

[@SilkStreets]

lionellinesfan Your point is ?

[@lionellinesfan]

ikillzombies59gaming you said it would be unique if the switch panel was mounted on the roof, i pointed out that drag cars have it mounted there, im not saying it isnt unique because drag cars have it, im just mentioning it. personally, i think having it roof mounted looks less messy and gets everything out of the way, its not a bad place to put things in general

[@ebperformance8436]

I see these being used on older cars. When the original turn key start is no longer working. A lot of older cars use a cheap pop metal toggle gear setups on steering columns.i like the push button start setup they use on 2010 Nissan Altima.

[@SOU6900]

For some reason this reminds me of my dad's old Freightliner since you had to activate the starter with a button instead of turning the key.

[@NinoValleyTv]

what tool is that youre using to strip the wires???!!

[@ali10163]

um...a wire stripper..?? srsly?

[@NinoValleyTv]

.

[@NinoValleyTv]

ali10163 UMM....I GOT THAT,,..IM TALKIN ABOUT THE SPECIFIC NAME OR BRAND OF IT JACKASS...MOST WIRE STRIPPERS DONT LOOK LIKE THAT

[@ali10163]

BartCast Then you should've said what's the name of that wire stripper. Your question makes it look like you don't know what a wire stripper is. Also for your information most wire strippers do look like that. And why are you salty?

[@NinoValleyTv]

cuz i live by the beach

[@hualni]

A hole-saw is a couple of bucks. And it would have done a better job.

[@flyshichin3628]

Stralia

[@DANGERTASTIC]

Ya but then the show would be like every other shade tree mechanic show in KZbin. These guys use hammers and sticks to remove an alternator = Street Cred

[@gitaarmovies2003]

Look at the description

[@gemboy9507]

Had this start button in my '77 Opel Manta installed by previous owner, cause ignition switch was broken. Cost me around 2$ to fix it using parts from '82 Opel Kadett ;)

[@xiimealvarez435]

quedo chido!!its so cool!!im see from mexico
