Trying to wire up a starter button for my mk1 MX5, please see picture. Can anyone suggest where the connections should go?


The bottom picture is the original wiring diagram for the ignition switch. The top picture is my new starter button.

Please let me know any other information that you would like me to provide.

Cheers

Thank you for the response, very helpful!

Would everything not be on a relay anyway? How do I check? Surely the standard ignition switch couldn't flow all the current for everything?

Would it work if I had two switches, one for the stuff thats needed to start the car when cranking and one for everything else that can be switched on when its running?
