PUSH BUTTON ENGINE START?

anybody ever did one in thier ram 50 or mighty max. If so goods and bads and how hard is the installation.

Hi 808Gunner,

I haven't heard on anyone installing a push button engine start switch.

Try it and let us know how it goes, John

installing a push button start on any car isn't really that hard depending on how you do it. Long story short, you cut the crank wire from the key ignition and re-route it to a push button or toggle switch.

The best method is to route it through a 30/40a Accessory relay.
Pin 86 - Ground
Pin 85 - pin 1 of push button, Pin 2 of push button to a +12v when key is on
Pin 87 - +12v from battery, or from +12 source that is located at the key
Pin 87a - tape off. OR, if you still want the turn-key crank, route this back to the ignition where you cut the crank wire (key side, NOT crank side)
Pin 30 - Crank wire, the one you cut from the ignition switch. (Crank side, NOT ignition side)

Basically what happens, is when you push the button, it activates the relay, and then the relay powers the crank wire with +12.

or, you can put a push button/toggle switch that can handle the amperage, and simply put the crank wire on one side and a +12 (when key is on) on the other.

I stuck mine in the bottom of the cigarette lighter. NO ONE would look for it there.
