If you have ever taken an automotive solenoid apart, you would see that the contacts are massive compared to the square Bosch relays. I haven't broken open a Ford, but I would assume it is designed along the same lines as any starter solenoid and the contacts would be larger and beefier.
Yep, I'm dreamin! Oh, to test the Ford solenoid itself, you merely hook the (-) lead of a battery pack (or such) to the mounting plate of the solenoid. Take the (+) and hook it to one of the large terminals. Take a wire from the (+) terminal and touch each of the small studs on the solenoid. One will make it click if it's functional. You can also leave the power attached, and with a VOM, measure the voltage at the other large terminal and small terminal. With the solenoid engaged, they should both read the battery voltage you are using. |

QUOTE(914GT @ Oct 10 2005, 06:02 PM)  You really don't need the 'Ford relay'. You can use the small square 25A general purpose relays hanging up on blister packages at your local FLAPS for a starter solenoid relay. You can see mine connected in the upper right corner of this picture: (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) |
