There's a double spade terminal with only one position used for the control
lead.  Run a mechanic's remote starting switch from the other terminal to
the alternator B+ terminal and secure everything out of the way.  Remember
it will *always* crank when you push the button, whether or not it's a
good/safe idea at at the time.
