need help with mx3 ignition

Post by Maximacollector »

I got the car 3 weeks ago, and the guy just snapped off the key in the ignition. So he got out the part that the tumbler turns and i started it with a screw driver. I dropped that this morning, and then I had to hot wire it.

Today Im going to convert it to push button start. What do i need to do? as in make sure i ground them? ground the right order? I know theres 3 stages of acc. and I have a plan for that.

If you guys have ideas on materials/switches to use and stuff like that I'd appreciate it.

You don't ground anything... the ignition switch is a series of switches. Theres a wiring diagram here if that helps:

You'll still need a key switch of some sort for security - or bare minimum a switch to turn the ignition on and off.
