Hey guys I want to do a push-button starter switch into my 93 civic. A simple momentary switch & relay is not a problem as I saw plenty of pictures/steps on how to install one of those.

My question is how do I go about it so that I can eliminate the key all together? I want to be able to start the car without the car at all (I know this is a safety issue I'll worry about that later). How do I go about wiring another swicth for acc,ignition to be able to do that. Using the multimeter I found what the 5 wires do in my ignition:

white - 12V constant

yellow - ignition, off when starter is initiated

yellow w/black- ignition, on when starter is initiated

black w/white- starter

white w/black- acc, on with ignition, off when starter is initiated.

Just a thought, doesn't the ignition (steering) have to be locked when the vehicle is towed.

I know mine had to be.

You can use one low current toggle switch wired to a series of high current relays. Then, use a momenatary button attached to a dedicated starter relay.

Like others say, you will still have a mechanical lock, but I have no clue how they work on the Honda. Also, by wiring all of your main circuits to one place you are just asking for someone to drive off with your car.

Push button starters are great for cars that don't sit in parking lots or anywhere where the general public can access them (like real race cars). I'll leave it at that.

I installed a hidden switch to turn on all the accessories and a Viper push button start button in my Dakota.

I was going to disable the steering lock as you are talking about, but I did not. I am glad I did it the way I did it. Having the added security of the steering lock gives me some comfort when I have to run back into the house and leave the truck running with the key in my hand.

I think you will find out the same.

Yes well this car is not gonna see any public places. It's parked in my driveway and I will only track the car so please don't worry about it getting stolen I know the inherent risk.

Ok it seems like wheel lock is not an issue in my car. I can turn the wheel fine back and forth without a key in the ignition. But I'm still lost as to how to go about the wiring
