Default How does a push button start work?

Ya know the kind they have in the S2k. And has anyone done a conversion on their cars, I think someone did because I saw it on the link in their signature. So if you know a link with some info post it up please because its for my new fangled alarm system that I am building.

Its not hard. The button is what they call a momentary contact switch, like a horn button. I assume it probably only has 2 prongs. 12v+ would go to one prong, and the starter wire would go to the other prong.

On an ignition there is a power wire, than the ACC1, ACC2, On, and Starter wires. Turning the key just connects ACC1, ACC2, etc... to that power wire.

Well for security I'd want to still use the key. Basically want to do it so that you can't start the car with just the button. Anyway thanks for the help.

You still need to have the key in because unless the key is there to supply power to the ignition than the car will not run. Start button just supplies power to crank the starter.

Oh cool... I did not know that until now. Thanks for the help, I might just get a kit rather than piece it together.
