Civic FD Start Button

[Havocwreaker]

I'm trying to install the start button, but am having a little difficulty. Would anyone be able to tell me exactly where to hook it up to in terms of the wiring?

[denot]

pm DMX, he sold one of these... Also, you need to use the search function on the DIY section. I think there is a thread about this.

cheers

[ej20i]

tried the search...nothing found...

[Havocwreaker]

Well, there is a thread that DMX has posted to, but the instructions are a little vague.

[ej20i]

Those are the links I'm revering to when I say the instructions are vague. Can anyone make an improvement on that?

I have one which is old and generic and refers to an older civic install. Not specific to FD but it should give you a general idea on how to hook one up. Let me know if you want it. :)

I was under the impression that it's a lot simpler than it actually was.
I've had another go at it and finished it. Works fine now. There are actually some further simplifications that can be done. The LED power and the signal power can be off the same source, as can be the ground for the power and th signal cable.

Havocwreaker, maybe you could do a simple DIY guide for us then :)

Just a thought...

oh, actually my wiring have a little different to dmx's. i have the the pink wire connected to the cigar +wire and the brown one connected to the cigar -wire.
which means, whenever i switch the key to on, the engine button led will go on... i think that will give me a little convenience at the night time. :D

[ej20i]

installed mine

I really no suggest, you hook the LED+ and signal + as same source, coz if the relay fault or kick back some current to the button, your whole interior light too risky to blown away :( but if you do seperately, if something happen with ur relay, and the cuurent kick back to your button, at least, only your button blown, and just pm me to buy the new ones :D

Hey guys, I've finally decided to install my Start button (one I got from DMX AGES ago) Thing is, I only have the start button. What other bits do I need to buy from an electrical store to fix it up? Wires, connectors etc? Can anyone give me a helping hand pls? Thanks!

[ej20i]

u need to go to jaycar and ask for a 5 pin connectors and wires

[anansting]

Lol, I'm in Melbourne...any place in Melbourne perhaps?

[longers]

a cable from a floppy disc drive would also work. if you don't have one, we do have jaycar in melbourne

[ej20i]

yea floppy disk drive power cable would do just fine

[ehonda]

Lol, I'm in Melbourne...any place in Melbourne perhaps?

There is a JAYCAR in the city, its opposite the RMIT on swanston street...inside one of them lanes or just take a left after u see the corner pub opposite the uni...

[anansting]

Awesome, thanks guys, will be going down tomorrow to get the connector and the wires.

[anansting]

Went to jay car today....They said they don't sell anything like that. Asked 3 of the staff.... :(

[longers]

Floppy disk power cable!

[spacekey]

The product do not include a manue?
What a strange thing!

[ej20i]

so many ppl find this problem at Jaycar
so best thing for u man, just go 2 a pc shop and ask for floppy drive power cable connector

[spacekey]

It' s really hard if you dont know the circuit of the car!

[ej20i]

go according to the instruction in the first 2 pages and u'll be fine man
just take your time and read it carefully
if u were in Sydney id help u out

[anansting]

Isn't a floppy drive cable connector 4 pin?

[ej20i]

yup, the push button has 5 pin but if u followd the instruction on the first second page u only need 4 out of thr 5

[spacekey]

Push button is really 5 pin
I have checked it

Here I upload the pic

[anansting]

Really could use some help here...went to quite a few computer shops with parts...they dont have the floppy connector

[ej20i]

i hope thats not the push button we talking about here spacekey

Anansting just go to Jaycar and bring your button and show them
i want a connector to fit these pins
if u were in Sydney i would help you out
actually
when i pass Jay car next time i will get the part number for you

[anansting]

ej20i, did exactly that when I went down looking for the part. If you do go down to Jaycar and get a part number, would be great. longers has helped me find an ebay store selling the floppy connector too.

One of the guys from the forum is coming down to help me fix up the switch soon too. Thanks!

[spacekey]

OK. I see.
Hope ej20i has solved his problem.
