Ignition/starter button?
 
Well when I bought my Jeep, it was rigged up with a button for when the car doesn't want to start via the key. The wires for the button though somehow got loose and disconnected. Can anyone tell me where they go? I kow one wire goes through the firewall down to the starter.. Where does the second wire go? Power source? Ground? The part that came out seems to have a male tab-style connector on it. :dunno:

try the ground first
then to a hot wire

its power if its similar to what i have in my f150 if it only has to 2 tabs its definitely power it transfers power to the starter no ground

yup... just like the ignition switch, power in to the switch = power to the starter when button is pressed
