Default Push Start Button missing, how to start the car?

Hi guys,

I bought ap2 from US, it was a vandalized vehicle with stripped interior. Idiots ripped out the cluster bezel along with push start button. Does anyone know how to start the car without having the push start button? any wiring diagrams available? Any help greatly appreciated

The start button is a simple momentary switch. It connects the 2 wires together until you release it. So if the start button wires are still intact, just connect them together to engage the starter. Its just 12 volts, its not going to jolt you.

Release the wires from touching as soon as car starts. Go find used parts to replace whats missing.

Pop start it in 2nd gear, works very easy on the S2000.

You can hotwire the start circuit by removing the start relay in the under dash fuse box and bridging the terminals that connected to the relay contact pins.
