Ignition switch/starter relay/ballast wiring help- Painless Kit - FIXED
Just installed a painless kit in my 65 Valiant. All electrical has been tested and checks out great- brake, turn, low and high beams, parking, horn, etc.
Only thing that is not clear in the kit is exactly how to wire the starter relay/ignition switch. I think I have it setup correctly based on circuit descriptions but need another set of eyes on this. It cranks fine and seems like its going to start when the switch is in crank position but as soon as I turn back from start to run, it dies. Thought it was the original ballast so I replaced it but still doing the same thing. Ignition switch(new) has been bench tested. Ig 1 has power in run only, ig 2 has power in start only.
Purple wire in picture comes from ig 2 on switch, through starter relay down to starter.
Pink wire at top of resistor is key on power and goes through resistor to + coil.
2nd pink wire at bottom of resistor is jumper to solenoid pin of starter relay to bypass ballast during cranking.
Ideas? I'd be open to phone conversation today if anyone has good knowledge of this. Thanks!
