Changing the Push to Start Button

[cjh0702]

I have a 2020 Big Horn. The push button works just fine, but I wanted to change the color. I noticed that the push to start buttons on the Chargers/Challengers are red, but otherwise look the same as the one in my truck. I was wondering if anyone had any insight into the following:

Will the push to start buttons on the Chargers/Challengers serve as a drop in replacement for the ones on Ram trucks? Or are they wired differently?
How easy is it to get to the push to start button in order to replace it?

For reference, I found a video of someone replacing the push to start button on a 2018 Charger.

And the part number I found is here:

I have looked into getting stickers/vinyl to cover the OEM push to start button in my truck, but the downside to that is that it covers the light at night, so I wouldn't be able to see the button at all in the dark. And I didn't want to start tearing into the dash without knowing if the new part would work, or if it was too difficult to get to. Any suggestions/direction would be great appreciated.

I just put a sticker over mine. Yes, no light on the actual button, but you'll still have it above with the Off, ACC and Run to see where it is.

I went with the overlay as well, happy with it. This one is more than just a sticker

I like that one. Where did you get it and what size is it?

I hear that adds 20 hp? Haha! I'm a sucker too and just ordered one. Looks pretty cool!

So I noticed that on the new TRX, the push to start button is red. Thats exactly the look I want. I know the TRX is new, but I was wondering if anyone knew how to get the exact part number for the red push to start switch that goes in the TRX? I assume it should be a drop in replacement for the other trims.

Why not just add the $14 decal? Yes, it should be a drop in replacement and if you can get a VIN of a TRX, you can have it looked up. Why pay well over $100+ for this when you can do an overlay?

I have a decal on it now. I just like the "stock" look. I was just looking to learn how to look it up, and then find a price for it as well.

I had no idea it would be $100+. That might a dealbreaker.

My guess is that it's a lot more than $100, but if we can get a TRX VIN, we can look up that part.

Interested on swapping the button myself. I found a TRX vin (1c6srfu94mn901091) but can't find anywhere online that I can find the part number for the button. I found some of the red buttons out of chargers for around $50 but guessing it will be way more with TRX.

Just call a dealers parts department...give them the VIN and ask for the part number and price of the Ignition Switch

Because he wants the red button and not an overlay. Why is that such an issue? I bought an overlay for my 21 Rebel and it lasted a month and a half before it started pealing. So that 14 is now 28 if I want to try again. I found a red push start button for 63$. I’d like to give it a try if it would work as well. The actual factory push start button would look a hell of a lot better than an overlay. When you spend over 60k on a truck, worrying about a 60$ part seems silly.

No $hit Sherlock...it is not an issue at all. I was just offering him an option if interested. Great way to start your relationships on a new forum

Hey bubs, been here since 2019. He wanted advice on a red push start button. Not an overlay. Hope you have a good day.
