Changing the Push to Start Button

[securityguy]

Just received mine today...quick and easy install. I tried reaching from under the dash and my arms just would not reach so I removed the lower panel under the dash/steering wheel and reached from under. Just two 7mm screws and the panel pulls out easily.

Yep...exactly what I posted quite sometime ago...glad it worked for you too!

That red ring looks very nice. Great job!

x2 with this method...Maybe 7 minutes start to finish installing the switch WITH removing kick panel. Easy Peasy

Thanks. I had some rolls of auto wrap and thought I'd give it a try. Easier, quicker, and less mess than spray painting with the added benefit of being removable later.

I tried reaching from under the dash and my arms just would not reach so I removed the lower panel under the dash/steering wheel and reached from under. Just two 7mm screws and the panel pulls out easily. I also used a small piece of satin metallic red wrap to cover the silver ring (I could always peel it off/change colors/etc. later) Pics attached.

Love the red ring...now I have to do that to mine. LOL. I guess I'll look in Amazon for some red wrap.

Copied @Taegee2 install except I painted the ring. Ordered from Liberty on Thursday and received it today, super fast delivery. Got a lint pube in it but it's not noticeable unless I get right up on it. I had to removed the lower panel also.

Got mine at Liberty also. I just reached up under and popped it out, didn't have to remove anything. 1 minute mod!

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.

Found this link awhile back
