hey my ignition switch went out, and i dunt feel like paying $115 at toyota for a new one, so i bought a s2000 starter button, i tried to wire it up but it wont work, am i doing somthing wrong, has anyone ever installed one of these? do i splice into the wires? there is a relay with 4 wires stickin out, and a ground on the switch i beleive ,the instructions are in japanese so i cant really understand it. thanks

s2000 starter button?

 

[suprasucka]

yea, its like a button you push to start your car, but the key has to be in the ON position.

Does it work fine until you put the key to "START" position?
If so, you can just wire up the start switch directly to the starter.

Well, any instructions that came with a generic switch will not be relevant to the Supra system. Consult the TSRM to get the wiring setup and wire-colors for your year. The ignition harnesses do very at least pre/post 1990, probablly more often in the column as well.

i did look it up, but do i splice the igntiion switch harness? or post ignition harness? i tried splicing it, i followed the instruction too, there are 4 wires, battery 12v, dunno taht one, starter coil which i think is "ST" in theTSRM, ACC is accessories, and a wire to the switch, it didnt say nothing bout the ignition wire, so is that normal for supras. i notice the supras have two wire for IGNITION,

I wired a switch to my starter for whenever the stock alarm goes whack on me... well that didn't help any, sorry man, good luck with it... aight peace and if you do a search, its been done before... a lot of people called it rice, but it looked good where the guy mounted it to me (where the cig. lighter was) aight peace

ive got the s2k button on my 76 celica, for 53 dollars its a POS , cheappy ass plastic. the thing that got me is 2 of the 5 connections arent used, and the light has a shared connection with the button. anyway. i wired it up separate, just run a wire from the neg terminal on the starter to the switch, then from the other terminal of the switch to a positive power source (probly the starter power supply) you can bypass all the factory wireing if its to complicated and run this separate


an ignition switch for a 76 celica is a hard part to come by, so this is how i did it

 

[suprasucka]

wont the switch go out if u dont have a relay?

 

[76celicagt]

hasnt yet... i wouldnt say for sure though

The switch should work fine without a relay. After all, you are only using the switch to operate the starter relay. So adding another relay to switch the starter relay is just redundent.
