How does one wire up a relay for the starter?
Does one use a normal 4 pin relay?
Which wire goes to what pin.
Thanx.

Re: Relay for starter
I just cut the original wire that goes to the starter solenoid, and did it this way:
I used a normal 4 pin 40Amp relay

Re: Relay for starter
Does one need a relay when the ignition is wonky ?? Always wondered why the need pops up for a relay to the starter.. Or is it an anti-theft sort of magodie in some way or the other...

Re: Relay for starter
The "original wire to starter" is the one from the ignition switch to the solenoid, cut that one and pop in the relay.
