whats the proper way to hook up 12v remote starter switch

How do you hook up this 12v remote starter switch correctly. I have supplied pics of the starter i have and remote starter switch i bought.

 

If I remember correctly from when I used one in high school you connect the black to any grounded area, the red to the big post on the starter. Then you push the button (make sure it's not in gear), burn the crap out of your hand from the melting insulation, and then run for the fire extinguisher.

Yep, I'm pretty sure that's the correct order of operation for that particular tool.



If you want to be all boring and stuff I believe you connect 1 side to the SMALL switched post on the solenoid and the other side to 12+ so when you press the button you're basically bypassing the starter switch and not trying to pull a couple hundred amps through 14ga wire. But to be honest after my first attempt I just walked around the drivers door and turned the key, so I may be wrong.

On newer vehicles I don't think you can do much of anything with these types of setups besides cause problems. They're pretty old school, no computer type tools.

 

Thanks for reply, burning my hand and wearing plastic doesn't sound all that great.

 

What is your end game here ??

I gotta say it has been years since I last saw mine buried in the tool box no doubt

I hooked mine positive side of the battery and the starter solenoid .

push button engine cranks !! Most times the engine is disabled so it can`t start !!!

Adjust valves align timing marks etc

 

I honestly don't have a end game. I just saw this at harbor freight and thought was interesting.

 

yep! that way you dont have to have someone inside clicking the starter...

 

Long ratchet on the crank, easier than trying to bump to an exact spot.
