What would you be tying to ground? You want to provide 12V to the starter circuit when the button is pushed. What are you using for a button? Will it be able to handle the current you're going to put through it? You want to use a relay for this. Your button will activate the relay and the relay will provide 12v to the starter circuit. If you don't know how to use and wire a relay, stop right now. I will not be party to a car fire. |
