Have everything but the ing & starter button hooked up. On my stock start switch there are 6 wires. red to battery black to acc. brown to ing 2 yellow to st blue solid to ing 1 blue w/white stripe to ing 1 also The starter button on the console has 2 lugs & the toggle switch has 2 lugs. I'm not too good at this stuff. Can anyone tell me were the wires hook to.

(2) The momentary contact start sw connect red to one terminal and yellow to the other terminal. This'll duplicate OE ex you wont have the brown (ign2) ballast bypass because if you connect the brown and yellow together on one end of the starter sw it'll let current (after you start it) feed back from the downstream (brown wire) side of the ballast to the starter solenoid because they are connected on that end of the new sw whereas on the OE ign sw they are seperate terminals. live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth

So to make sure I am understanding. Connect the red wire to both the ing toggle (on/Off) and also to the push button switch? So I will need to splice the red wire to two or can I jump it over from the toggle to the push button? And just not use the brown and black wires? 2005 Dakota 4X4 3.7 2004 Rumble Bee 5.7 1978 Diplomat 318 1969 Satellite 318 "bracket racer" 1966 Barracuda (in progress ) 1964 Dodge 330 (future race project) 1962 Belvedere (HUM????)
