i already search where i can find the starter relay/inhibitor relay. i already searched the forum for any info about it but i cant find any what i need. i have a chilton book and i already looked at it but it seems like it has missing details too. so can anyone show me where to look for these relays?


thanks in advance.

I'm a little unsure about what you're looking for. What are you looking for?

Like said above, there are different things going on: clutch interlock switch/relay, inhibitor switch, starter solenoid, ignition switch and relays.

What are you trying to do?

Autos don't have a relay, just an FYI.

autos have different wiring for starter but have an inhibitor

facts : new starter from autozone

my starter clicks but the motor doesnt work. but when run a direct to the 2nd bolt next to the motor. the motor works. im troubleshooting my line for any worn out connections. thats why im trying to look for the main location to look. thanks in advance.

Again, it's not a relay, just a two position switch. Open or closed.

Bypass the starter relay, take the two large gauge wires and tie together.

Are you sure the starter is clicking and not some other relay? You should get a multimeter and test to see if your starter solenoid is getting power from the ignition switch. you can unplug the connector for small wire coming into starter and test to see if it is getting 12 volts. check the clutch interlock switch on the clutch because that is the most frequent cause of problems.

follow this troubleshooting guide. you dont have to hit starter because it is new. bad battery and clutch switch are most common problem

there is a pic that shows location of ignition wire at starter which should be tested for 12 volts

there is an inhibitor switch and and inhibitor relay. it is even labelled inhibitor relay in fsm.
