How to make ASR be OFF when start car (from PoleZero)

Go to your local Rat Shack and pick up a 33uF electrolytic capacitor' date=' or something close to it. This will give you a ~5 sec delay, bigger values give bigger delay. I will explain this more later. Bring an extension cord out to your car and plug your soldering iron in. While the iron is warming up, pull out the ASR switch as follows: Hold in the ASR button, and pull out the seat warmer switch (If you have one). Then pull out the ASR switch. Basically just get that switch out of the dash, leave it plugged in though. Take your pocket knife and cut a bit of insulation away from the black, and the gray/black wire. Don't cut the wires! Just skin some insulation off, so you have some wire to solder to. Wrap the negative lead of the capacitor around the gray/black wire, where you stripped it. Wrap the positive lead of the capacitor around the black wire. Solder the leads to the wire. Wrap tape around each lead so they don't short out. Put your car back together. Now, when you start your car, the ASR will be disabled, the light on the dash will be on, and you can peel out of your driveway. If you put your key in the ignition, turn the car on (not started), and wait longer then the delay time (5 sec) before actually starting, then the ASR will be turned on, the light will be off, and you won't peel out of your driveway. When the ASR is off, pushing the ASR button immediately turns it back on. When the ASR is on, pushing the ASR button turns it off, after the delay time (5 sec).

I guess the cap must be storing some voltage, and simulates you pressing the button. Hence the delay as the cap discharges.
