I have a 2001 Dodge Ram. I have and want to install a push button ignition. I have a 40a relay. I need help with the wiring of the relay and the button. I found a diagram that says I have an ignition 1 and an ignition 2, what do I have to do with these. I know where the starter wire is and have a general idea. I need to find a 12v power source, and a 12v source when the key is in the run or start position. If it helps the button is an ignited illuminated. So basically I have no experience with relays, and need a pretty detailed description of how to wire the button. Any help will be appreciated.

30: motor side of starter wire
87a: switch side of motor wire
85: ground
86 : one side of the contact on the push button itself ( the other contact will go to a 12 volt source switched )
87 : NOT USED
