Push Button Start
Hi Guys,
On my 1978 911SC, concerning the ignition/starter switch. I have replaced the electrical part with a new one and all seems to be well there. The mechanical side is not so healthy after 200,000 + miles. When I put the switch over to the start position sometimes the starter is energized and sometimes it is not. With a lot of fiddling with the key it will finally work. To avoid getting stranded away from home by a no start situation I am thinking about installing a push button switch under the dashboard to run the starter. On the starter switch I could run a wire from the always hot terminal 30 to the yellow wire at terminal 50 with the push button switch in between. With the plug in connector on the back of the switch how would I find the red and yellow wires? Strip the sheath off behind the plug, or is there another way? What brand and size push button switch should I buy and what gage wire should I use?
Cheers,
Johnnie Pete the mad Swede
