One small terminal is labeled "S" and that is hooked up as before. The 4th small terminal is labeled "I". Leave alone as if it was not there. It goes to ignition coils on some cars, but if you did not have that before leave it disconnected. The other two large terminals are the same. George
From battery to starter solenoid
Mostly fusible link for starter solenoid is located very close to the battery or between the battery fuse and terminal.
Find the positive battery terminal. Follow the thick cable from that terminal and it will lead to the starter solenoid.
1. Disconnect the negative battery terminal 2. Remove the air intake duct and the air cleaner box from the engine compartment 3. Disconnect the battery cable and the solenoid terminal from the starter solenoid 4. Remove the starter mounting bolts
Remove - battery cable Remove + battery cable from battery and starter solenoid Route new cable following original routing Connect to starter solenoid Connect to + battery terminal Connect - battery cable
yes if you dont remove the positive terminal off the battery before unistalling the starter or installing it the lead going to the starter will be hot.
Yes, three in fact. They are located at the battery terminal of the starter solenoid.
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.
The positive battery terminal goes to ground, the negative terminal goes to the starter solenoid.
check your starter wires there should be wires going to 2 different places on the starter, 1 large gage wire to the copper terminal and 1 smaller to activate the solenoid
Solenoid on inner fender? + battery cable to large terminal Cable from starter to other large terminal Trigger wire to either small terminal
The starter solenoid is attached to the starter. Follow the positive battery cable from the battery, it will lead you to the starter solenoid. The starter would have to be removed to replace the starter solenoid.
