on an automatic where you can only start when it is in "parked" but this function broke (solonoid went kaput) so car is wired that you turn key to "2" then earth a wire manually to turn the car over then un earth it once started, could i just put a push button start in the earth wire and fit inside the car? Obviously fuse it and use a relay. But essentialy just use the switch to make the connection instead of me popping the bonnet and eathing the wire!? I see no reason why not, but if anyone has a different view please say!
Hope that all made sense! Sorry if not!

bump for morning people!

yeh... as a bodge I dont see why not. or you could just fit a "push to make" switch (which is all a starter button is).

opening the bonnet each time seems alot of effort to start the car each time!

how are you going to fuse an earth wire?

sorry lol wasnt with it last night with regards to the fuse. yeah so a start button will be fine for a bodge, nice one! will start a project thread soon for anyone interested in an old jag!
