Yeh always does the trick. Sounds so nice when it fires up with the blip. Always turns a head or two

I'll check my local ford dealer for the power button but i think i'd be better off buying it online and installing it myself knowing my dealer ...!! ermm another ques guys. i've seen the button light up. Is that connected to the dimmers? The tutorial shows connections to two wires. What are those for, is one of them to light it up and the other for its actual use?

Also, seen some other forums, they make the circuit diagrams look more complicated than just justting and joining wires =S seems like you need to connect some fuse?

do you mean the surround lighting up or the button itself? if your cig lighter surround lights up anyway you could prob just connect onto that wire. dont think the standard ford button does tho. think its differnect aftermarket kits that light up. i could be wrong tho as havnt seen one yet

so far I've noticed on other forums that one of the wires serves to light up the button as soon as the key is to position two and the other serves to complete the circuit once you press the button. The tutorial that you gave me the link for has some comments that it worked perfectly. My only concern is that some other online tutorials mention that you have to connect some fuse or so. Would it be a bad idea not to ... =S

Well seems like all i have to do is solder two wires. I've had a look at the ignition loom and the black-gray and green-yellow wires are in fact there are the farthest ends.



So now we buy the button and get our hands dirty xD

Oryt mate,yeh the diagrams correct,follow that and everything will work,had
mine fitted about 10months now. Get the button and bezel from zippy racing,now soldering is required and it's a nightmare to do in the switch due to were the pins are,but if u
email zippy and ask them tol solder the cables on for you,they will for a little extra cost,definatly worth it as it's the hardest part! Then i used scothlock for the connections onto the wiring loom!

Yeh there both exactly the same buddy, I put mine were the ciggy lighter is though Instead of were the boot button is. Just make sure you identify which cable is on Which pin after soldering!it's relativly simple,just take your time,and you'll be fine!!then get the illuminated gearstick and your console is transformed!!
