Push-button start help
-
Might just be easier to go to a junkyard and buy a new ignition cylinder that has a key already w/ it.
If not, it will be interesting doing the wiring. You are right, you will need a momentary pushbutton switch to attach to the starter wire(s) probably gonna be a black/yellow wire. As for the other switch you will need a toggle switch to be wired to at least 3 different relays.
Relay #1 will go to Ignition #1 (black/white wire) when activated
Relay #2 will go to Ignition #2 (black/red wire) when activated
Relay #3 will go to Accessory (blue wire) when activatedAs for unlocking the steering, you might be able to just remove the stock ignition cylinder. Get a manual cuz I'm not sure how ford goes about removing them for this vehicle.
The downside to this is that anyone can steal your vehicle at any time if they can figure out what each switch does.

I realize that. This will be stored and only used at the track. I bought the car because it was cheap and I wanted to experiment on something cheap, and test myself on how much I can actually handle before taking on a more serious project. THere will be various break in the circuit for a theft deterant

Oh yeah, almost forgot. Trying to pull the ignition yesterday, i pulled the steering wheel, turn signal canceler ... etc. I have it all apart and access to the wires. I also have a momentary and toggle accesory switch. I am all ready, I just need the diagram and instructions on how to pull the ignition.

if its a 90-91 probe you have to drop the steering column down( remove 4 bolts) and there are 2 break away screws..the heads of the screws break off when u install the ignition cylinder...take a cut off wheel and cut a slot into each screw and use a screw driver to remove the screws...I will post a pic of the breakdown of the steering column

In the pic you had of the top of the steering lock youll notice to bolts with no head on them, those are breakaway bolts. just notch them with a cutoff wheel or a dremel tool and take a screwdriver to them and remove them. Or use a chisel if room allows. Once you get the ignition cylinder/switch assy out you can unscrew the two or three phillips screws holding the lock and tumbler to the switch itself. Wella, all you need is a screwdriver to start the beatch. Take the lock cylinder to a locksmith at your liesure and have him make you a key. Go to the parts store and get two bolts with the same pitch as the old bolts and bolt er back in. Hope this helps a little.

Thanks wes, raider has already given me that very helpful information up there.I dont think anyone gets it. I am not having another key made, I AM MAKING A PUSH BUTTON START. I already got the ignition cylinder off the steering column. What I need is labels to my diagram to figure out how to wire my push button start.
