- Wiring isn't obviously final, just quickly wired it up for demonstration before I put it on my rig.
** Take note you can actually run this wiring with only two plugs. You don't need to connect up the accessories to the board.
So two white wires to the battery, a blue wire to Ignition, and a blue wire to Start. Then you still keep the jumper between ignition and accesorries**

Great job! Really nice lighting on your workbench, it adds so much to the video. Keep up the great work.!!!!!
Got my encoders today! Waiting on my main box and ignition along with the other buttons, wanted to say thanks for giving out such good videos on this stuff, not en electrically savvy person so I’m glad you made it nice and simple:)
Very concise and straightforward. Super easy to follow through this tutorial. Great video!
Thank you for detailed explanation.
I purchased similar ignition key part and wired as you explained. It works just great!
Thanks for the great tutorial and showing how easy this is. Bought the ignition key and the decoder. Still waiting for my buttons. I will give an update how things are going!
thank you for a very clear and helpful video on how to wire up the ignition switch for ETS2 / ATS
Bro. You are A serious NPC
Thank you so much it worked the first try 😁😁😁. Greetings from sweden 👍
I LIKE IT!!!!!!!!
I wonder what other truck parts we could incorporate into gameplay???????
Definitely going to try this
It worked for me bro, thanks
hey thank you very much for making this video im in the process of making my own box with a key switch but i was just curious... could you use two of the USB Encoder things inside of a box to allow yourself to have more then 12 switches? or will it not register two separate USB encoders on the computer? or in the game? obviously the box would have two USB cords coming out of it and they would need to be plugged in or at least that's what i have in my head but just curious if that would even work? thank you!
Thanks.
Any ignition keys?
Why did you assign "button 10"?
Does it also work on the FS series?
How is the 5-stage Retarder arm made?
How is the handbrake made?
Can Ardunio be applied on cards?
Awesome thanks for the vid!
My ignition switch turned up yesterday. 4 terminal however.. it only has numbers (1,2,3,4) and does not show acc, batt, ignition, start like yours. Would you happen to know out of the numbers what's what? That would be much appreciated
What stops you from turning the key to the right again while the electrics or engine are still running?
all the way to the left is not lock, it is accessory only. Power goes only from BAT to ACC. When the ignition is in the Run position, it connects BAT to ACC and IGN. and the start position disconects ACC and connects IGN and START
All you need to do is use joytokey or svmapper and make it work like a really ignition switch instead of the extra on then back to off
Can we use 3-point ignition starter for this setup? You are using 4-point.
Do the blue wires have an order to go in or just how ever ?
Just got mine wired and working! Thanks a lot. Any suggestions on a box to mount everything in?
I'm glad you got it working! I actually drilled a hole into my rig to mount it, then wired it up behind my wheel to the back of a button box I made. I'll have a video of that this week. The box that I used to hold 12 buttons and wire the ignition through is this one: www.amazon.ca/dp/B07W6SJGJM/ref=pe_3034960_236394800_TE_dp_1
@@lukebraddford3287 I was just looking at that one! Guess I'll go ahead and hit the order button. Looking forward to any more videos. I Just got my first ever wheel on Friday and for now I built a setup out of PVC. Now I just need more buttons to go with the ignition
perfect! thanks a lot
thank you, could you do a tutorial on how to connect / use a push / pull momentary button to simulate parking brake, i tried some ideas, but no success. thanks again.
You could use a momentary (on) off (on) toggle switch as your parking brake. Ground or common wire to centre pole on the switch and then one wire to each of the other terminals. Once plugged into your board, you'd assign both buttons (down press and up press) as the handbrake then you could press the toggle down to apply, and toggle up to release the parking brake.
I have a problem, that the key binds on the same time like all 3 keys bind in every position except off any solution
THANK YOU SO MUCH
hello, thank you for an amazing video. I have an adruino pro micro. How can I connect the key ignition switch. Please, give me a step-by-step instructions on wiring. Thank you
Hey mate I just upgraded mine it’s a 3 way key ignition I have wired it up so the accessories come on then you can start the truck but when I turn the key off nothing happens BUT if I turn the key back to accessory engine cuts off any ideas? Please help
is there no way to set things up so off is actually off without going to the lock position?
Can you use this on Xbox for games like projects cars 2?
Funciona con cualquier botón? Puedo hacer esto mismo para que a la hora de darle off se active de nuevo?
building mine today
Did you use a circle terminal and what kind?
Thank you very moch
Muito obrigado,fiz e deu certo,só no meu tenho que deixar desmarcado a opção enérgicas automaticamente senão fica ligado direto
Am all ready using one have been now for about 2 yrs paid £10 the only thing with mine is the connectors I have to solder the wires on
Can i use a diferent ignition switch?
Hello, good tuto 😁
Link or câble, mini controller etc please ?
Can i use this switch with arduino?
how you connect the stripped wires to the switch? and which wires I need the red and black or the blue and black?
I crimped the wires into terminal connectors
for some reason my generic usb joystick does not show up in game
Ive followed this to the letter and the game controller in control panel shows all three "buttons" regardless of key position. Any idea?
UPDATE: Check the polarity of the joystick encoder. I had to reverse the wire colors and everything worked.
life saver! not only did it help with ignition but also my wiper stalk!!! now I've got my indicator & wiper stalks and ignition working!
I know this is old but just wanted to thank you, was going crazy trying to figure out why it wasn't working and I switched the colors and it worked perfectly! Thank you so much!!
Great video, im about to make a button box with an ignition and I have bought pretty much the same ignition box, are you able to tell me what depth of box is needed to house one of those?
It is pretty big actually. I’ll take a pic and upload it to imgur for you to see the size of it when I get home.
Here you go, this will give you an idea of the depth of the ignition imgur.com/a/OP3JcEq
@@lukebraddford3287 thankyou so much for that! :D - if i get my custom box done i'll send you an image :)
@@StevesRetro I’d like to see it for sure
Do you know how to use this with a BMW E36 cluster wired through Arduino uno? I want the turn of the key to turn on the cluster.
I do not. You may want to see this czcams.com/video/L59NL9EuEdM/video.html
Can i use 3 position key?
thanks :)
Thankyou! I'm wondering if this can further be wired to a push button start so you can have the option of either turning the key after the electrics are on or push button start? 🤔
I’m sure you totally can. When mapping the start just map it to a button
@@lukebraddford3287 why do you use 3 pinss for tthe ignition? you only need 2 pins for electricity and engine .
@@MAlif-qg5sn I note that in the description
I have an ignition push-button on my button box. I use Joy-to-Key to make this work - what I do is assign a keybind to pressing the START button once only to turn on the electrics, then I HOLD the START button to start the engine (with a different keybind). To turn the engine off, I simply press the START button again.
Alternatively, I also have an ignition key on the button box which I can use to turn on ELECTRICS, then I can press the START button to start the engine.
Using Joy-to-Key allows me to change which keys are bound to which physical button actions without having to change them in the game.
For example, if I have bound the E key to ELECTRICS, then I can assign this to any button or mutiple buttons on my button boxes, and can change where it's located. I can also save differnt profiles for differnent games.
@@OfficialRedDirtNurse Thankyou!
Do you have more build vids in the future?
I will be uploading more videos including a tour of my sim rig soon
will it work with any ignition key switch
Hey, how do you cut and strip the wires and how do you connect the stripped wires to the switch ?
Please answer uploader
@@alonzamir5407 you can use anything sharp to cut the terminals off (scissors, pliers, wire cutter) and if you're careful you can use a small sharp knife to strip the plastic away. Just very gentle run the knife over the insulation on the wire and then pull it off.
It looks like the wires have just been connected by wrapping the stripped end and tightening the nut, but you could always solder them on if you have the means.
Will this work on LIVE FOR SPEED(LFS)?
If you can map ignition and start you should be able to
Got mine wired up, but when i go to start the truck in-game my accessories comes on, and then after it cranks the truck shuts right back off. Does this sound like a bad ignition switch?
I would double check the wiring. Goto windows control panel properties and what buttons are lit up when you move from electrics to ignition
@@lukebraddford3287 The right switches are lit up, but i see that the accessories one cuts out for like a split second when moving from ignition back to electrics
@@LG-hy9du if they aren't doing what shows in my video make sure your wiring is correct and no wire is touching two terminals
For People using red and black wires use the 3 red wires to the battery and the black wires to the rest of the post’s
Thank you!
Hi, I wanted to buy the ignition from your link but it doesn’t ship to my country. Does it matter how I wire the connections? Because the ignition I found doesn’t show Battery Engine etc.
Please help me I know I am a bit late but I am not sure about this
I'm sure you can find any other ignition with the same connections, it doesn't specifically have to be this one. Which country are you in I can take a look around tomorrow for you as well
@@lukebraddford3287 I am from Germany. Thank you by the way for still helping me!!
@@moritz9529 You can buy this exact one from ebay I found www.ebay.com/itm/283818471343?epid=2291397842&hash=item4214e62faf:g:1kEAAOSwjdFecTGH I couldn't find it on amazon germany. Search ebay for "dorman 85936". Let me know if you had any luck.
@@lukebraddford3287 hi sorry for being so late. I found one on Amazon and it should arrive today. I’ll let you know how it went and thank you so much for your help!!
so basically it didnt arrive and now i have to wait more but ill keep you updated
hello, I have followed your video and I'm having issues with the wiring. I have my switch Wired including the Jumper and im getting all 3 buttons lighting up in the first position on the switch... any help would be awesome.
Is it the same ignition switch as in the video?
@@lukebraddford3287 yup purchased from your link, as well as the control board.
@@FatJollyGuy read my description, try not connecting up the ACC wire.
@@lukebraddford3287 I have tried that setup as well, it seems to me that the only time the starter engages is when the started and the Battery are the only one connected to the joystick encoder, then the starter seems to function. but as soon as I add the either the acc or the ignition to the Joystick encoder it forces the starter to always be on...
by the way thank you for all the responses. As well as trying to help me out.
Could you just run some wire from accessory to ignition without having to plug it into the board? I only ask because I have used up all 12 slots and I don't really want to run a separate board just for the ignition
Yes, that's the way it works. You need 3 slots for the starter, and a separate "jumper" wire from acc to ign that isn't plugged into the board.
Actually, you don't even need 3. You can just run it with 2. I've done it tonight.
Cheers dude I can't remember how many I used lol I wired up blinkers and few other button to the board
@@JMCreations97 I'm using the paddle buttons on my wheel (G27) for blinkers. I'd thought about putting them on the button box, but I do prefer them on the wheel.
@@JamesW81 that's what I was using as well. I brought a 4 way joystick and wired that up for my blinkers and mounted it under the clamp on the wheel, works a treat
Better than amstudios
Red light doesn’t come on for me
Same problem like most, copied the video and all 3 buttons are permanently on. Tried the instructions in the description and now two buttons turn on when I use the key.
It will be because the wires are the wrong way around. Whatever colour wire you're using on the battery terminal change it to the other colour.
@@JamesW81 thanks James. I managed to resolve this but forgot to put the solution here. Hope this helps others with the same problem.
@@ShiftingShedu Same problem 1 position show 3 button.and other position not any show
Is it possible to make this with arduino
That I don't know, I don't know enough about arduino programming
If i wire it and test it in settings and i turn in to the electric postion 8,9,10 is all on Can somebody help me?
Dacio2015 mine is doing the same thing did you ever figure out the problem?
what you need to do is make sure the wires closest to the edge of the board are the ones going to the battery. The wires closest to the middle of the chipboard are going to: 1 wire to ignition, 1 wire start. If this doesn't work then reverse it so the inner wires go to the battery. Worked for me using EG Starts Zero Delay USB Encoder.
Richard Egan thank you!! It worked
@@MrToledo86 Sorry for the late response. My wires are red and black i used the wrong wires i simply switched them
Dacio2015 its all good man, thank you.
I wired all the wires like yours. When i connect the joystick to my computer all buttons light up. They are not separated.
you added the jumper wire thats in the video as well?
@@lukebraddford3287 hi is that key work on on and again to start the truck
@@david11618 so with it in position 2 (default position where you can take out the key). I goto position 3 and the electronics come on, I hold it into 4th position while the truck turns on. It then comes back to position 3. To turn it off position 2 (default), then back again to position 1 to turn off the electronics. If you press it forward to on again, it should work. I've never done it like that. But it should.
@@lukebraddford3287 have you buid it in a box
some versions of this usb encoder have the blue and white wires connected the other way arround. try swapping them (so 2 blue ones to the battery, 1 white to ign, 1 white to start)
Whats tip the switch
Sorry I don't understand your question
@@lukebraddford3287 what is the type of the ignition switch
Does it also work on farming simulator
I haven’t tried farming simulator. Do they have options for ignition and start in the controls setup like truck sim?
@@lukebraddford3287 i think only start but no electricity
@@lukebraddford3287 you can make a vid of it if you have fs22 or fs19
вэри вэлл друзья
Doesn’t work, the 3 buttons remained on all the positions.
Did you read the description where it says a different way to wire it up? How many positions does your key have?
I did. Tried both ways, still nothing. Also used the same switch from Amazon. At the end I figure ir out. No need for jumper cable and only 4 connections, 2 at the board.
Please reply sir... It's very urgent
Try out what wrote in the description using only two wires.
i dont think this is ideal. you dont need to connect Acc and Start. All that does is make it so that turning left and right 1 click do the same thing. If you drop that connection then turning left gives you ACC, right 1 click ACC + Start, 2 clicks right Start + Ignition., see Amstudios video czcams.com/video/Dk8GSy6zR_o/video.html&ab_channel=amstudio
I see how he wired his, he has to move forward to engage electronics, then again forward for start. I prefer this method so I hold the switch to turn it on properly. To Turn it off I just go all the way to the end. Personally I like this method more.
