OK, the privous owner of my car (classic mini) wired a two button system. You push one button in, it starts the electrics and electric fuel pump. Next, you push a momentary button, the car starts. I want to add a real keyed ignition. I took the dash off - the top switch (fuel pump/ electrics) has two wires, the bottom (momentary) has two wires. My "Painless" key ignition has the following - Ignition, Battery, Acc, and "ST" in the center. So, Do I find the constant 12v - wire that to the "Battery", One of the momentary wires goes to ignition? How do I wire this mess? I don't want to mess this up.

Is there a Year, Make , Model...Is this the OEM Ignition Cylinder you are putting in...? Maybe Classic Mini is supposed to be all the info you need...
