push button start
I have a 95 civic ex 5 speed manual. I'm putting in a push button
start, but I'm not sure what wires to tap into. I have a test light and I'm pretty good with electrical, but does anyone know the exact wire colors to tap into on the ignition. I have my haynes manual, but I'm not to good a reading these diagrams. If anyone knows the wires it would help. I already have to button mounted and I'm going to put an in-line fuse instead of a relay and if anyone knows the exact wire colors to tap into. it would help thanks. |

I no longer have them memorized, but here is how you figure it out for ANY car... Stop using a test light! They are only good for circuits that you know you can safely work on with a load. This particular project a test light is fine for, but what about your next project? Probe the wrong wire with a test light and you fry a circuit. When in doubt, use a multimeter. Under the dash, high up along the steering column you will find a bundle of wires on the right side of the column. Heavy wires (for under a dash) usually 10 or 12ga. Check each one for 12v while the key is in the crank position. Other wires in that bundle... Constant 12v - Always 12v Accessory - 12v in Acc and RUN position, dead during crank (don't want to power unnecessary items during crank) Ignition - 12v in RUN and CRANK position (only power what is needed during RUN and CRANK) Avoid any wire or group of wires in a yellow wiring loom. Those are universally used as an indicator of airbag wiring. Short those out (or probe them incorrectly) and the airbags will pop. |
