Then you push the button make sure it's not in gear , burn the crap out of your hand from the melting insulation, and then run for the fire extinguisher. Yep, I'm pretty sure that's the correct order of operation for that particular tool.

By following a basic process you can place the in-line switch temporarily on your vehicle, saving you the need to get a helper for a diagnosing situation. Locate the starter relay on your vehicle. This is generally located on the sidewall of the engine compartment just above the battery. Identify the leads of the starter relay.
There will be two large connections, one that comes from the battery and another that goes directly to the engine starter motor itself. There will also be either one or two small connections on the starter relay. These are used to energize the relay that places the contacts together for energizing the starter motor.
Place one alligator clamp on the positive side of the battery. This will provide the power to the switch.

Place the other alligator clamp of the switch on the small connector of the starter relay. The contacts of the starter relay will then be "turning over" or "cranking" the starter.
Locate the starter on the engine of the vehicle. You may have to crawl under the vehicle slightly to reach the starter motor. Identify the connections on the starter.
