How to Install a Starter Push Button Switch
- 1). Disconnect the vehicle battery negative cable from the battery.
- 2). Determine the best location for the push button switch. It should be in an area of the dashboard which can be easily reached by the driver.
- 3). Use an electric drill and a drill bit of sufficient size to drill a hole large enough to mount the switch. Check your switch for the size as it can vary from one brand to another.

Inner fender mounted solenoid
Locate the starter solenoid. It will be found under the hood and on the inner fender, such as the one in the photo, or it will be built on to the starter. - 5). Strip approximately 1/4 inch of insulation from one end of the 14 gauge wire. Using the crimping tool, crimp a solderless terminal of the type necessary to fit the lugs on the back of your push button switch to the stripped end of this wire. Attach to the switch. Run the wire through the firewall and out to the solenoid.
- 6). Install a solderless terminal which will fit the solenoid terminal to the wire and attach to the solenoid.
- 7). Fabricate a second wire and attach it to the switch. Connect the opposite end to a 12 volt power source or directly to the positive terminal of the vehicle battery.
- 8). Mount the switch in the dash board and reconnect the vehicle battery.
