    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

electrical help please!

Thank you everyone for your help so far, your advice has been tremendously helpful. I need to ask where does the wire goes from the starter relay goes to? does it connect to the positive battery terminal or does it go on one of the posts (picture attached). The unit shown in picture is to the right of the battery. Again, i appreciate your advice and guidance.

With just a little bit of luck it will go to the starter switch.

When it is energized ("ON") it causes the relay to activate and close the connection between the heavy-gauge (red) live wire from the battery and the equally heavy gauge wire that leads to the starter.

The relay is essentially a switch, triggered by the application of power/current, that activates the magnet to close the circuit and allow power to flow to the starter.

When the power is "off" the magnet releases, which breaks electrical contact, and the circuit is opened again.
 
Big wires - one to the starter/ one to the battery. Small wire (yellow) goes to the
starter button thru the clutch saftey switch & the start/run switch
 
Yep, Lynn is right on with that one. One large wire straight from battery to starter solenoid. The other large wire from the other terminal on the solenoid to the starter. The small wire disappears into the harness, reappears at the starter button. Also keep in mind that the solenoid needs to be grounded. It is bolted to a plate near the battery, there is usually a wire from that plate to the chassis or battery negative terminal.
