I'M GONNA SEND YOU A DIAGRAM (IT'S AN EXERT FROM A 1979 FULL DIAGRAM---MUCH OF IT IS THE SAME)
IT WILL HELP YOU TO UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENS UNDER THE HOOD
PAY ATTENTION TO THE LIGHT BLUE WIRE ON THE RIGHT---------YOUR PUSH BUTTON SHOULD SUPPLY IT WITH POWER FROM A MOMENTARY SWITCH
THE UNKNOWN THING HERE IS--------HE MAY HAVE JUST "BYPASSED" THE BLUE WIRE COMPLETELY RAN A NEW WIRE TO THE SOLENOID---------WORKS........I JUST DON'T WHAT HE DID EXACTLY?????
HOW DO YOU TURN IT TO "ON" ......(I KNOW "START" IS THE PUSH BUTTON)
REGARDLESS------HOWEVER OR WHEREVER IT WAS TIED IN-------"S" TERMINAL ON THE SOLENOID MUST GET 12 VOLTS SUPPLIED TEMPORARILY FROM A MOMENTARY CONTACT SWITCH-----THIS 12 VOLTS FEEDING THE MOMENTARY SWITCH MAY COME FROM ANYWHERE
HE MAY BE COMING OFF OF THE BATTERY---COULDA TIED INTO THE EXISTING SYSTEM-------YOU CAN EVEN CRANK IT OVER WITH A PIECE OF WIRE TEMPORARILY TOUCHED TO THE POSITIVE SIDE OF THE BATTERY AND THEN TO THE "S TERMINAL" OF THE SOLENOID
I HAVE DEMONSTRATED THIS IN 2ND PIC WITH MY REMOTE STARTER BUTTON-----POS BATTERY CABLE TO "S" -----(KEEP IN MIND I HAVE THE BATTERY CABLE AND ACCESSORIES ON THE OPPOSITE POST FROM THE STARTER CABLE) THIS IS OPPOSITE FROM THE FACTORY WAY
----I LIKE "S" AND POSITIVE SIDE BY SIDE, SO I CAN USE A SCREWDRIVER TO DO THE SAME OPERATION AS THE REMOTE STARTER
SEND PICS OF YOUR JEEP AND ENGINE W/ BREATHER REMOVED----AND OF ANYTHING ELSE YOU NEED HELP WITH, TO THIS POST
