hi all, i had a push button ignition lying around and thought i would put it in my sierra.... now i got it to work but i want to work so that you HAVE to push the button to start it - cancel the key igntion because you can start it either way..

anyone know how to do that or done it? also anyone fitted an engine imobilser to there sierra? mines a SWB 1.3. just to make it steal proof or close to it??? kill switch maybe??


ignition wires below









cheers, islandvit

Shae,
Just snip the wire(on the back of the ignition switch) that becomes live when you turn the key to start'.
Hook that wire to your new pushbutton.
Now it will ONLY start on the button.
Jas.

proberbly a stupid question but WHY??? wouldnt it defete the perpouse of being able to lock your zook??

but if you want to.... you could make it cool and u need the key to tern the igintion on but button to start??
if so...

get out the trusty multiys......
check to see what is igintion power... take a wire from there.. and connect it to your starter swithc

then find the wire to the starter... chop it off and connect it to the other side of your switch..

that would be cool actualy....

Wont you need the key in the ignition to get around the steering lock though

pretty sure you can put the accessories on a switch and then turn the key one click and yoink the key out...

If your going to the trouble of a button start so as to lessen theft, wouldn't you put the button where only you know where it is, key in lock, turn ignition on, find hidden button, press start; not have a dirty great big button on the dash that sez, hey look theives, heres how ya start me n take me away.

The way I read the original post was that Shae wanted to use the key to unlock the steering and to turn ignition on and then the starter button to start the engine...
The second part was asking about an immobiliser.. a kill switch perhaps.
Jas.

wire a kill switch into the wire going to the button from the ignition.

i wired a push button into a kingswood with a 2nd little bush button up near the seat on the trans tunnel so you had to push both to start the car. no one worked it out. i wouldn't put another button in a 4wd but a switch in a vent or somthing would work

correct you are jas thats why i asked about the kill switch/ immobilser

will put your tip to work tomoro jas thanks but still can anyone post a diagram of how to wire in a kill switch or imobilser???


thanks fellas, islandvit

this is from another post but it is relevant


i made a switch that plugs into a suzuki wiring harness, as I had missplaced my keys. i did end up finding them but.

the barrel just plugs into the loom, so I made it so that all you do is put it in the plug, you just need to replicate that the acc is switched on and then another for the start.

I used a single position switch for the acc, and then a spring return switch for the start.

if you have the wiring diagram it is simple, if not a multimeter and some trial and error is easy, just need spare fuses.

obviously there is power to the switch and then just need to put a switch in to turn on acc, then one onto the start.
hey presto you have yourself a running zook! now go before the owner comes back!

The best place to put a second button is in the factory location for the A/C not sure where it is on the NT's but if it's like the WT then its smack bang in the middle of alll the temparature controls.

The other idea is to use the OEM demister switch from the high top, not many people would think that it was out of place in a Soft top

heres my attemp at a wiring diagram, I dont have the proper diagram with me but it is very easy to do!

that was only because mine was plug in and go.
but the principle is what you are after
if you want to stop people stealing the car then you put another switch in that stops the perm active getting to your ignition barrel or start setup.
or you can ground the coil, means it won't fire up until you turn the switch off and the coil is not earthed out!
