Remote starter hookup

-
You can either hook one wire to the positive battery post and the other to the small post under the main terminal on the starter relay.

Or, if your alligator clips are small enough you can hook one up to the battery post terminal on the starter relay and the other to the small terminal under it on the starter relay. Either way you'll be golden.
 
??? Easiest way is to just hook to the two large bare terminals on the starter relay. Most the time I don't even use a switch, just a screwdriver, pliers, "any other" piece of metal I have handy

MAKE DARN SURE the trans is in park or neutral. If it fires, it will "go."

(If I live long enough to get my own car back together, this will be more difficult, LOL. There will be no starter relay "under the hood.")

Thanks to both of you, I appreciate the help.

Does this mean that you can not only turn the engine over but fire the engine up as well? Does the key have to be in the run position to be able to fire the engine using the remote starter? If this is possible I might do this to fire my newly rebuilt engine by myself if I can't find a helper.

Yes, it will start the car if you have the ignition key in the "on/run" position...

He's right... I once jumped the relay when I had the car in gear and had to chase it down.... If you jump the relay with the ignition on, it will start, even in gear as it bypasses the neutral safety switch...

Make sure the trans is in park or neutral before jumping the relay...

But one word of caution: you have to be careful not to 'double hit' the contacts when jumping with a screwdriver... I once locked up a starter doing that.... :BangHead: :mad:

I prefer to use a remote starter switch after that.... :steering:

Thanks for reply, will definitely make sure it's in park before trying and will be using the remote starter switch.

Just to confirm this, on the relay in the pic the switch would be connected either to the positive on battery or the large lug on the relay and the other end to the lug with the screw and clamp marked SOL?
