Manxseven Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 Guys, Here is the wiring diagram here Simon Emmens Caterham and Pussy Photos here 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shn7 Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 Haven't checked but how do these wiring diagrams tie up with the fact that there are 4 terminal on the starter button? Is it that 2 are press to make and 2 are press to break connections? Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shn7 Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 But that doesn't explain the 4 connections on the switch. Are they 2 which are press to make and 2 press to break connection 🤔 Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YellowSeven Posted December 22, 2003 Author Share Posted December 22, 2003 Steve, The easiest way to find out is to use a multi meter and meter the contacts. I will check tonight and let you know tomorrow. (If nobody beats me to it!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony C Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 CORRECTION after physical check - The outer two are the press to make.

shn7 Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 Simon, Doh, why didn't I think of that. Bloomin' obvious. Probably won't get round to checking for ages now though. Happy Xmas. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianHorn Posted December 23, 2003 Share Posted December 23, 2003 Simon, Got my button today. Many thanks. 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter R Shaw Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 I found this old thread.... positioned the button below the 2 central guages and it looks great .... wired like this it can be turned over with no ignition key .....not so sure thats a good idea....also I used the 2 outer terminals at the rear of the button. Fitting the Big Red Starter Button couldn't be easier, this was how I (Kevin Thomas) did it: 1) Disconnect the battery. 2) The hard bit, work out where you want the button to go, and cut a suitable sized hole, being careful not to catch any wires behind the dash. I used a drill to make a series of holes to get a rough hole and then finished it off with a Dremel. 3) Measure the distance between the button and the ignition and cut two lengths of appropriate ampage auto electrical wire (allowing for cable routing). Cut a third length of wire about 6 inches long. 4) Take one of the long lengths and the short length and twist the ends together and attach a female spade connector. Attach a male spade connector to the other end of the short cable and a suitably sized female connector (for connection to the button) to the other end of the long wire. This is wire A. 5) Attach a male spade connector to one end of the other wire, and again, a suitably sized female connector to the other end for attachment to the button. This is wire B. 6) Remove the black shroud from the rear of the ignition barrel, it should just slide off. Feed the new wires you have assembled through this shroud. 7) Locate the connector on the ignition barrel with two brown wires attached, remove this connector and taking wire A, attach the female spade connector to the ignition barrel where you have just removed the brown wires. Connect the male spade connector to the brown wires you have just removed. Run the remaining long end to one terminal on the button. 8) Locate the connector on the ignition barrel with the red & white wire attached, remove this connector and taking wire B, attach the male spade connector to the red & white wire. Run the other end of the wire to the other terminal on the button. 9) Reconnect the battery, turn on the ignition using the key and press the button. Simple really!

Tony Whitley Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 The outer pair are the push to make. I snipped off the inner pair and soldered to the inside of the outer terminals. Apart from looking much better than the black button I had, the RED button feels so much more smooth, silky, luxurious 😬 Mmmmm Edited by - Tony_Whitley on 29 Dec 2003 10:19:50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony C Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 Definitely the OUTER two terminals are the press to make - just physically checked mine.
