Hi everyone.

 

I was wondering if anyone could give me a heads up on which wire i would have to connect to each point on the back of this 2 flick switch starter panel.

 

The green switch is for ignition stage 1 and the red switch stage 2, the button, obviously is the final stage.. Vroooooom!

 

Any help would be great!!

depending on the rating of the switches I'd go something like this

 

green switch

 

brown wire off loom in

 

then out you would need a wire going to the red switch and also going to the green light.

And also to any stage 1 items you want to come on such as radio.....you'd have to check wiring diagram for car.

 

red switch

 

feed in would be from green switch

 

feed out would be attached to the white wires in the loom and also to the red light. and also to the starter button

 

starter button feed in from red switch feed out goes to starter solenoid or relay, again check wiring.

 

the red and green lights would need either an earth or I guess you could make them oil and ignition wiring by replacing the earth with alternator small wire and oil pressure sender wire.

 

 

The above should then give you

 

green switch on, green light comes on plus radio live and red switch as power in

 

red switch on, green light comes on, starter button now live, coil live, plus anything else needing be live.

 

press button car starts and if green and red light wired to alternator and oil sender those lights go out ?? , if wired to earths they stay on

Thank you! 

 

But when you say 'in' on the switch, is that the bottom connection or the top?

doesn't matter in this case... they are just on off switches, so power goes in one terminal and out the other when its on

Shouldn't matter, the switch just joins the two together

the switch doesn't matter which side is in but the side you take the lights off need to come off the switched side or it will be permanently illuminated
