Brown / Red = Battery +ve

White/ Red = starter

White = engine run ( ignition system etc)

Green / White = accessories

So, to start you'd have the button connect the Brown/Red to battery, but ..... this is normally protected such that you cannot engage the starter without the ignition being on.

So, to wire the button in, you would need to disrupt the White/ Red wire, connecting from the starter to the button, and then connect the white wire to the other side of the button without disrupting it.

That should compliment the web pages already cited, so you know which wire on the Esprit to use.
