Neil_K Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 While I'll doing everything else with the Seven, I'm going to fit the starter button I've had sitting about for nearly a year. The link on the FAQ has had the wiring diagram for the 'retained key' option removed? Can anyone please send me a wiring diagram for this option before I hack away at the ignition wires blind? Cheers in advance, N Where am I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonboylaw Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Can someone please post the "retained key switch" diagram up again or BM me with the circuit diagram please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stationary M25 Traveller Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Simply identify (with a meter) which wire on the ignition switch becomes +12V when the key is turned to the starter position (purely from memory I recall it being red/white ?). Remove this from the ignition switch terminal and connect it to one side of the starter button. Run a new wire from the other side of the starter button to an ignition-switched +12V on the ignition switch - again, use the meter to find one ... .I recall there is a spare terminal available to use. Job done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unclefester Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 SM25, I seem to recall mine (on the shelf 5 years later) is a bit more complicated than that! Best go and have a butchers I suppose, will report back asap. > Back already! Yes, mine's from 'Demon Tuning', a Honda S2000 style large red button. Comes with wiring harness, 4 pin relay, connectors etc and TWO stickers for the button in case you get it wrong first time, saying "Engine Start". On mine, I have as follows....I think SM25's wiring scheme is for replacing the key with the button, where mine allows either to be used. I may be wrong, I'm clueless with wiring. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7159/6634317543_56ec30c8bc_b.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7145/6634317549_53155d4efb_b.jpg HTH Edited by - Unclefester on 4 Jan 2012 12:15:04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stationary M25 Traveller Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 My description was for keeping the ignition key, but moving the starter function from the key to the red button. It utilises the existing starter relay in the MFRU (or in my case the H/D external one I fitted outside the MFRU when it died). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unclefester Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Makes sense. The Demon version allows use of either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonboylaw Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Cheers guys, I will run a Switch in series with the ignition switch so that I can isolate the ignition/power via the dash. The Starter button takes its feed from the Brown "hot" leads and other side connect to the starter solenoid... a bit cold in the garage today though... brrr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Ford Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Snaplock connector? Yuk. I've just finished replacing a section of wire where I foolishly used one of those years ago. Horrible, horrible things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Mirylees Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 See what modernising has done...very technical nowadays. My series 2 just had the rubber covered plunger of the starter solenoid protruding into the cockpit, mounted on the vertical face of the scuttle 😬 Life was just so easy then...

jonboylaw Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 No snap lock here.... horrible things, I used proper spade connectors. I decided to wire the Start buttong with its live feed from T15 so that the key needs to be in and the ignition on before the switch becomes Hot. All wired in and looking good, just putting the scuttle back on now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unclefester Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I don't think I'll be using Snaplocks.....I'll probably do a solder splice instead, with thermo-retractable support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonboylaw Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 All done, scuttle on and no smoke in the cockpit.. hooray (unless the battery is flat...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
