Wiring new ignition switch/start button

[Doug]

Now that I've successfully installed a Momo QR steering assembly, I need to wire up the new starter switch and button. I have removed the steering lock/switch because I kept knocking it off with my knee on cornering. The replacement will be dash mounted with a Farnell Red starter button.

 

The wiring from the old Rover switch is as follows:

 

White/Red - originally connected to post 50 (1)

2x Black (piggybacked together) - not sure where these were connected

2x Thick white & a thinner White (piggybacked together) - oroginally connected to post 15 (3)

Thick Brown & Brown/Blue (piggybacked together) - originally connected to post 30(2)

 

Looking at my Caterham manual, I cannot find the two Black wires and am not sure where they should go on the new arrangement.

 

Can anyone help me with "what goes where" in the new set up?

 

Many thanks

Doug.

Start with a read of the FAQs

[Doug]

I've tried FAQ already but cannot get into the wiring diagram mentioned.

Doug, try here for the wiring diagram. All the attachments to the FAQs seem to have gone wrong.

Cheers Tom, that's better!

 

Any ideas what my 2 x (thick) Black wires piggybacked together are?

[Tom_C]

No idea, didn't have any black wires on mine when I fitted the starter button.

 

What type of connector is on the black pair? And do you have other than the plipper immobiliser?

 

 

Cheers

Black pair are together and came off one of the three main posts on the old Rover starter switch (50/15/30). I thought I'd made a note as I took them off but stupidly failed to note these two.

 

The car does have an immobiliser - deactivated with a headphone-type jack on the dash.
