[Mk2] [NA] Starter switch

Post by Scruff »

Folks, i'm fitting a push button start switch but i'm not sure where to wire it in for the starter. The instructions say "There are two wires that need to be connected to the starter motor solenoid". Looking at a wiring list here:

It shows only one wire for the starer. Can anyone shed some light for me please? Mines a 1991 n/a.

Cheers!

Folks, anyone? At the moment I'm pretty sure I should be wiring to the 12v constant and the other wire to the starter motor for the push switch. Sound good or will it go pop?

Just wire the switch across the starter terminals of the ignition switch.

IIRC, ignition switch-to-starter motor relay is a red wire. Easy enough to check with a meter.
