GT Push Button Start In My '05 F150

Just a quick video of the "Ford GT Start Button Kit for Mustang" part #M-11572-GT from Ford Racing installed in my '05 F150. I can either start it with the key or I can turn it to the run position and press the button. Wasn't really hard to install at all after I looked at the wiring diagrams for both the Mustang and F150 to figure which wires I needed to tap into.

so you connected the button to the yellow wire aka starter wire and if u press the button with the keys off it prob just cranks but doesnt start

@Arlind86

It's connected to 2 different wires. A red/light blue wire and a Dark Blue/Light Green wire. On my truck the r/lb wire is labeled Run and the db/lg wire is Start. If you press the button with the key off nothing happens. You have to have the key in the run position before it even cranks.

hey did you in stal it??

[AlienInferno]

@tapia0802

Yes I did.

[devbloggs]

looks like you put the button where the 4 wheel drive selector would go?

[AlienInferno]

@devbloggs Yes but since my truck wasn't four wheel drive it just had a coin holder in that spot.

@MrForeverReal Yes I have it installed were the change holder used to be. Just used a small saw and dremel to remove the little hump that holds the change, glued a piece of plexi to the rear piece with the clips, drilled/cut a big enough hole through it for the switch, and painted.

[MrForeverReal]

Di you just have it installed were the change holder used to be at?

There's not really much of a purpose besides the fun factor but there are several factory vehicles that work just like that with the button. Honda S2000 comes to mind.

thats neat and all, but is there much of a purpose if you have to put the key in to begin with?
