Starter Solenoid

To solve a starting issue, an automotive relay was installed. The correct relay will have four terminals numbered 85, 86, 30 and 87.

Make up a length of cable from the large screw on the solenoid (battery cable terminal) and connect this to #30. Remove white cable from small solenoid terminal and connect to #85.

Make up cable from #86 connect to engine block. Connect #87 to small terminal on the solenoid.

Terminals #85 & #86 actuate the relay and #30 & #87 power the solenoid.
