First and most importantly, select the location where
you will install the button. This location should be
somewhat flat and larger then the diameter of the button
itself. Now, Prepare the location by removing the panel
that will be used for the install. Drill a hole in the
selected location and dremel out the area until the
button fits snuggly and plush.
Start splicing into wires to power starter button.
Splice into the power source for the button; the power
outlet is an excellent source. Next, connect to the hot
wire and the ground from the power outlet. Start
splicing into wires found in the steering column. To do
this, remove the shroud around the steering column. Tap
into the 12v constant or power wire (white, for most
Hondas). Tap into the ignition wire (black with yellow,
fmh). * Tap into the starter wire (black with white, fmh).
*May not be
necessary with your car. Needed for 2001 or newer Hondas
with immobilizer.
Connect to a ground by finding a bolt that touches
metal on the frame and connect to it. Connect the
internal power connector to the S2000 starter button. Be
sure that the first 4 pins are connected, the fifth will
not be. The hot wire from the power outlet connects to
position 2 on the button. The ground wire from the power
outlet connects to position 2 on the button. Finally,
the wire from position 1 will connect to the relay.
Now connect to the relay. The wires connect to the
following positions on the relay.
30- starter wire
85- ground
86- engine start button
87a*- ignition
87- 12v constant (power wire)
After all connections, turn the key to the second
position. The car should start with the press of the
button. If not, check all connections and troubleshoot.
