Hi,
Im trying to fit a starter button onto my honda civic, I got a kit with all the instructions on it but still cant get it to work
when I turn the key to position 2 and push the button nothing happens the illumination on the button doesnt even come on although the car will still start when I turn the key
Ive wired it up as follows - these are all tapping into wires so the key can still be used (its a savage prostart button with illumination - a 'universal' one)
pin 86 on the relay to 12v ignition live output (BLACK / YELLOW wire)
pin 30 on the relay to starter wire (BLACK/ white)
pin 87 on the relay to permanent 12v via fuse (white)
pin85 on the relay to pin2 on the starter button
pin1 on the starter button to ground
for illumination
pin4 on the starter button to ground
pin5 on the starter button to alternator warning light (WHITE/ blue) - im not sure on this but it says connect it to headlight switch/side lights/night illumination
for the ground point I used a nut next to the fusebox - which im also not sure about being a valid ground
any help is appreciated thanks

The car is an automatic
Ive verified the ground by connecting the constant and getting voltage, and Ive managed to get the illumination on the button to work but thats it.
I'll check the relay like you said and get back to you, thanks for the help.

I just checked and applied ground to pin 85 and the car started!! So I guess the switch is defective or wired up wrong?
Appreciate the help mate
