I recently bought the Pilot push button starter switch kit, I know a little about wiring but not enough to take this on without seeking advice and not having a diagram doesn't help. I wanna use the rocker switch to turn on accessories and ignition, and then use the engine start button to fire the engine. Whats the best way to go about doing this? http://www.camarozone.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif
To turn the accessories and ignition hot circuits on from a rocker the correct way, you will need to remove your steering wheel, remove the lock plate, remove the ignition cylinder and turn signal switches to access the wiring that goes to the ignition switch. The wrong way to do it is to start cutting wires under the steering column.
You will need to trace diagrams to find which wires are carrying the signal for the circuits you want, and re-direct them to your switch. If you want to do ign and acc, you may want to consider a double pole switch to keep them separated and minimize the number of wires spliced into one terminal.
Leave it stock. There's no need to install a push start and no reason to start hacking at wiring. Plus if it doesn't go as planned and you end up selling, it'll be harder to get money when someone else has to fix it
Nothing is staying stock. I've throwing in a 350 within the next month or so. Plus I've always thought they looked bitchin'! I don't plan on selling it, I've got too much put into it. I'd simplify just tap into the wiring so I could use either the key or the switches
Do what you want man- thats what makes third gens fun. I just hope especially when it comes to wiring you take your time and do a professional job, if not all it will do is come back to haunt you and cause all kinds of problems later on.
Wiring switches to do what the ignition switch does really isn't complicated, as each wire is just being provided with power as the key turns progressively further- find which wires correspond to which key positions, and all you have to do is put power to that wire using your switch(es).
I got tied up with work. Here's the plan: remove cigarette lighter and replace with the push button and remove the rear window heater switch and replace with the accessory and engine kill switch.
Rear window heater doesn't work so I don't care about that. Will most likely put the cigarette lighter where the fog light switch would be on other years.
Gotta pull the wheel and lock plate, both of which require special pullers (available at any parts store) to get the plastics off and expose the wiring.

Lord, I hate push button start on cars. Such a pain in the dickhole
