i have no idea where the 2nd post asking that came from... wierd

hey hemiyellow, im more looking for answers about how this washer people use sticks to the dash, glue? and why do you need it, the switch is smaller than the cig lighter hole?

if so

then you glue the button inside the washer to the dash??

thats more what im looking for pics of, the install of the button itself into this washer and to the dash

When I was looking to do mine I searched and searched and found a great site with good pics. Heres the link: http://dodgetruckworld.tenmagazines....&id=133360

What I did to install my button was first take out the cig lighter then put the button up to it from the backside and made sure it was where I wanted it positioned. Make sure its in the center of the hole and the "START ENGINE" words are the right way. Then marked the holes and applied small bolts with superglue then attched it with nuts, dont worry about how much you use cause your not going to see it anyways. Hardest part of the whole job is taking out the cig lighter without it cracking around the hole. Had it on for over a year with no problems.
When wiring just make sure you get the right connectors to go into the back of the button, they are very small pins.
I always have my Remote Start in case something happens.
Best part is taking it to a shop to get something done and having them go out to drive it in, then they come back in a minute later and ask how to start it. [sm=laughat.gif]
