Hey shipmates...
Anyone ever hook up a remote start on a push-button start W50? I would like to be able to bleed and do other work without dragging in a helper to push the button. I picked up the old time remote start (a button with two clips... $15) like I used when working on an old Ford. I just need to find the right relay/solenoid contacts to short to make the starter go. Thought it would be simple to see, but the manual is over simplified to not include a relay, and when I got down there I see things that look like relays but with too few poles.
I'm used to a 4 pole relay but several of the control panel wires dive down and back from these gizmos before heading to the starter. They look a bit like relays.
