You currently have your DME to manually turn on and off correct? Do you have any details or could you contact me offline on how you did that?
Thanks

Brent,
Yes my ignition has been modded to use 3 switches. The reason for this actually has roots in failed ignition switch back in 2001. I won't bore you with all the details, but I don't consider it the ideal set-up as I sort of backed into it during some troubleshooting it does work.
So here it is
1 push button switch to run the starter motor. This off the main ignition switch connector. 50 amp
1 "main power" switch. (50 amp) This I think is also off that connector, but I honestly can't remember. I was have some issues and changed some things I don't remember for sure
1 "DME" switch. This comes from the small diameter wires on the battery after the kill switch. Due to some issues i had I chose to bypass the chassis wiring an pull straight from the source. This is labled "DME" in the car.
all 3 switches run through stock wiring after they are switched on. So only the power input side is different. Once in the "on position" they run through the normal circuits they do on all 84 944 as the exit the ignition switch. If you are faimilar at all with 84 wiring there are 3 ciructs. 1 for starter, 1 for main system power and 1 for DME.
Now I did resolve all my electrical issues except for bad ignition switch so I could route main power and DME in a more stock fashion (ie 1 push button starter and 1 power switch to replace just the stock ignition switch at the connetor), but since what I have works I have never bothered.
