Got a 6V, 3 post Ford relay from ebay for my "74 2.0L Wired it up per the many threads on the subject on this and other boards.
My understanding of its operation is that 1 large post always has 12V (from battery) and the other 2 posts (small "S" and the other large one back to the starter) have 12V when the key is ON. Is this correct?? I'm not getting 12V at the large post that runs back to the starter. I'm thinking the Ford relay is defective. Any thoughts from Ford relay users?? Paul |

Paul You won't get 12 VDC to the large post that runs back to the starter until the key is in the "Start" position. If you don't have 12 VDC with the key in that position, then the Ford Solenoid is defective or you wired it wrong |

If you don't have 12 VDC with the key in that position, then the Ford Solenoid is defective or you wired it wrong Here's how I wired it: - battery cable/alternator wire to large starter post and then connected to one of the large Ford relay posts. - ignition wire that WAS on Starter spade connector to Ford relay small "S" post. - 2nd Ford relay large post to Starter spade connector where ignition wire WAS. Correct? Paul |

Correct? Paul Battery cable & alternator cable to one side of the Ford solenoid. Equal size cable from the cold side of the ford solenoid to terminal on starter and smaller gauge wire from same terminal to starter solenoid spade terminal( in other words, two wires from cold side of ford solenoid to starter). Yellow wire (normally to starter) to terminal on ford solenoid. rock&roll |
