So since the 96 S10 is needed on a daily basis I had to get it up and running fast. See

To recap, I ran a wire off the batt post on the alternator, thru a 10 amp fuse into the cabin. Added a push button switch and ran the wire down to the starter selonoid. Quick and dirty and you turn the key to on and stab the button to crank and start. Of course it will start in gear but the girl friend knows that. So what has me scratching my head is that using this mode the daylight running lights aren't working??
When the key is turned on they light, during cranking they go out and don't come back on.Yet the main beams work fine. Any ideas as I still don't know all the componets in the start circuit. It did feel good to get back to basics since for two summers in the mid 60s I was paid to hot wire lots of cars.
