I ordered a boost leash and compressed air setup. It has a scramble boost feature where with a 12 volt signal you can momentarily add boost when you hit a switch.

I thought it would be cool to have the button on my factory ta steering wheel.

Is it possible to use lets say the preset button for a 12volt signal? I don't have a wiring schematic so i don't how its wired.

If that can't work has any one set up a momentary button on a factory steering wheel?

i couldnt find a button that attaches to the factory steering wheel so i made my fog light switch the scramble input. works great but id like to have something on the wheel. but you cant make your steering control buttons do it because they run off low volts you would have to rewire the whole thing.

 

Ok that's what i was afraid of, a lower voltage. How hard is it to hit the fog lamp switch when going down the track? Im not using that switch any way

 

What if you could gut the steering wheel switch and then run a seperate switch to the backside of the factory switch? Just an idea.....

 

Just find the wires in the column for the button you want... I wouldnt think it would be difficult. Find the schematics for the column/steering wheel.

 

they are resistor buttons not really a on off switch

 

Id rather not rewire the whole thing. Ill try the fog light since its just sitting there. I wonder if i could mount a switch where i could hit it with my knee on my right leg while im in it. Thinking out loud

 

Back in the day we traced the horn signal wire and unplugged it at the horn, and ran it to a N2O soleniod....

 

Im going to try and put a switch down low on the floor board. Kind of like the old cars had their bright switch. I think that would be easy and work great.

 

You don't have to do all that. I didn't do it on a turbo setup but I have wired customer cars for a nitrous setup.

I used the preset button for one stage and the am/fm button for another stage.

You have to find those wires at the base of your column and you can do a relay setup to trigger a 12 volt signal to the boost controller.

I used each button to do a negative trigger to the solenoids for the nitrous.

I really would have to give credit to my cousin (car audio installer specialist) that did most of the wiring aspect and I just provided the schematics and we went from there.

 

Can you find out what type of signal comes off the steering wheel buttons?, i was under the impression it was a resistance signal. If so i don't know how that would work to trigger a relay

 

in on the steering wheel as well.
it is hard to use the fog light going down the track but when racing from a dead stop i just use my boost graph on the ams and adjust accordingly

 

Don't want to hit the button by accident. Lol, I could not resist.

 

Would it really matter if you hit it on accident driving down the road? If your not in boost it cant force the turbo to do anything

 

Just a joke, good luck with the install.
