Starter Relay Wiring

I'm sorry. I cannot figure out your photo.


"The relay."

I assume your car originally had a clutch safety switch. (Depress the clutch to start the car). You ground one of the small quick connect terminals, earlier cars with no clutch switch, one terminal was soldered to the case.

The second "quick connect" goes ONLY to the start terminal of the ignition switch.

The big stud is a junction terminal for battery, and IS ALSO one half of the contacts

The "square" screw is the normally open "other half" of the contacts, and should have about a no 12 or no 10 wire from there to the starter solenoid (small nut)

The battery junctions there, and if you have no ammeter, you can hook the charge wire through there.

Depending on the year, some cars had the main battery cable go directly to the starter, with a jumper wire over to the starter relay 'stud.' Other years, the battery main cable went from battery to the stud, then jumpered down to the starter

NOTHING having to do with the fuel pump, VR, or ignition should be connected to the start relay
