I am using a older style Ford relay. The motor and starter are 1975 vintage. Sounds like I need to ground the solenoid case.


Up front connect the two starter terminals together. Run a momentary contact switch wire to the S terminal on the furd solenoid to crank it. Ground the furd solenoid case. You may or may not connect the I terminal on the furd solenoid directly to the coil positive primary for full 12V when cranking to bypass the ballast.
