To hookup the solenoid switch on F150 pick-up 5.0 after replacing it, first connect a voltmeter or test light to the solenoid's S terminal. Make sure the starter receives voltage at that terminal when the ignition switch is in the on position.
Small terminal on starter solenoid- if Ford product and have 2 smaller terminals - pick either - disregard 2nd small terminal
Yes, simply bridge the large terminal at the top of the solenoid cover with the smaller terminal directly below it. Make sure the transmission is in neutral and bear in mind the motor won't run unless the ignition switch is on.
The small wire connects to the "S" terminal. The "R" terminal is not used if you have electronic ignition.
Yeah, it almost has to be a bad vent solenoid, or a broken connection in the wiring to it. This code is saying that the PCM is not seeing the voltage change when it grounds the vent solenoid to activate it. Should have system voltage at one terminal with the ignition on, and a ground at the other terminal when the PCM commands the vent valve open.
Positive Battery Cable Routing on F-150sI'm not familiar with your '85 model, but I have both an '89 and a '93 F-150 with the same 4.9L/300 straight six engine. On both of my vehicles, the cable from the Positive terminal of the battery goes to the input [always "hot"] terminal of a solenoid mounted on the right front inner fender. A similar heavy cable goes from the solenoid output [ignition switch controlled] terminal to the starter.There are also lighter conductors that go from the hot input terminal of the solenoid to the vehicle's electrical system.
it should be your starter solenoid. Your positive terminal on your battery will have one wire running from the battery to a terminal on the solenoid. (there might also be a few more smaller wires leading to that terminal from under the engine) Another wire should be leading from the opposite terminal on the solenoid directly to your starter. There will also be one or two smaller terminals on the front (one labeled "s" and "i". the one labeled S will have a much smaller wire leading to your ignition on the column.
Engine "Cranks" When Battery is ConnectedAnswer 1Defective ignition switch. Answer 2 - Another OpinionAlthough answer 1 is possible, over many years I've seen this incident occur several times, and after troubleshooting the circuit, the cause was determined to be that the "starter solenoid" [a relay switch] was "stuck" in the "closed"/ON position. If the starter solenoid is the cause, then replacing the solenoid will cure the problem, and a starter solenoid is a whole lot less expensive and easier to replace than an ignition switch!!!!!One way to "test" this theory is to temporarily remove the wire from the ignition switch to the starter solenoid. This wire is small in diameter, and usually connects by a "friction" type end terminal connector over a small threaded terminal [the terminal looks like a small screw sticking out off the side of the solenoid].On some brands of vehicles, instead of the friction connector, the wire may be secured to the solenoid with a NUT on the small, threaded screw terminal.To remove a friction type connector, just grasp the connector between the thumb and forefinger, and gently twist and pull. Where a nut is used to secure the ignition switch wire to the solenoid, a small wrench will be required.After removal of the wire, touch the battery cable connector to its battery terminal.Then, IF the starter cranks, the problem is that starter solenoid is defective and needs to be replaced. However, IFthe starter does NOT crank, then that suggests one of two possibilities:The wire from the ignition switch has become "shorted" to ground somewhere between the ignition switch and the solenoid, and the short needs to be repaired, or...The ignition switch has become defective and needs to be replaced.
To wire an ignition barrel in the Citroen Saxo, begin by disconnecting the wire at the negative terminal of the battery. A lead wire has to go to the ACC terminal on the ignition barrel. The starter relay wire goes to the ST terminal and the ignition wire is connected to the IGN terminal.
It is on the starter itself and is called the starter solenoid. Heavy current is handled by the solenoid which is activated by the ignition switch. Current comes from the igniton switch, then to the s terminal on the starter which then connects heavy amperage to the starter motor itself.
