i saw on AM that they sell a push start engine button for the 05-09 Gt and i was wondering if anyone one has made it work on a 99-04. i swear i saw someone do it a while back but i dont remember and i cant find it

There's ways to make them work. I know there was a lot of talk on here before about this. I would post this in the Electronics section btw

I have had starters go out and dead batteries. Push start has a whole different meaning to me.

[03TropicGt]

haha im just wondering how hard it would be. im sure it has to be somewhat of the same setup no?

[Lefty]

Yeah, they just say its for the 05-09's cuz of the location (it's easily mountable in those years). Push starts, FOR THE MOST PART, all work the same...

[03SonicBoom]

The wiring should be the same (maybe different colored wires). All you're doing is wiring another switch in parallel with the original starter switch.

^ exactly

[moosenuk17]

if you are good with electronics i say go for it...figure it out and if it works, which it should, post a how to up

[03TropicGt]

haha alright well i have access to wiring diagrams for my car so with that and the kit i should be able to get it done..ill let you guys know how things work out, thanks!

[whtpny]

check out paladinmicro.com he has a wire diagram to do it yourself

[foursixblurrrr03]

if you do it, post pics and give us a write up on how you did it!

i have also wondered about this, would be pretty cool imo

[svtkidd23]

if u do this.. you have to turn the key to the on postion any way right?
than push a button.? hahaha i would rather just turn key that much more..
i dunno sounds cool though!

Yea thats what you would have to do.. you can get the s2000 push start for like 30 bucks..

You could wire it so that you just have to push the button and it'll start. The only problem with that is the whole security issue.

[rwboring]

some newer cars (i dont think ford though) have it where you can have the key in your pocket and hit the button... works off of proximity (spelling?) sensors...

yeah u could always hide he button.. and put it in front of ur seat on floor haha
just reach an push

My friend put a little almost "keypad" in that would replace him turning the key. So when he would get in the car he'd type a passcode (i'm not sure if it was like 4 digits or what) then that would in a sense "turn the ignition to on mode" then he could press his push to start. No key but safe

He's real tech savy. I am too but he's ridiculous. Don't know really where he got the part for it...?? I'll have to ask him some time when I see him again.

So would you have to remove the ignition switch or replace it? Because I am 99 percent sure the steering wheel will stay locked unless the key is turned.
