[QUOTE="whereshaldo, post: 170196, member: 10940"] I just want to make sure I'm thinking this through correctly before I start cutting wires. I have attached a photo of my relay for reference. You wrote: [I]"Tap 86 (Yellow in my harness) into the keyed positive line the starter relay is on. Be sure to leave the [URL='https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dautomotive&field-keywords=starter+relay']starter relay[/URL] also connected."[/I] Looking at the wiring diagram, I want to confirm this is the fused red wire that attaches underneath the big wire that goes to the battery. Is there any reason I can't just put a ring terminal on 86 and connect it directly to the relay? [I]"Disconnect starter relay ground, connect new relay in its place, 85, red in my case."[/I] I am assuming this is the black wire soldered on the bottom of the relay? In the drawing it shows the yellow/red wire going to 85. But I just unplug from the harness and then connect to the relay correct? [I]"Connect [URL='https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dautomotive&field-keywords=starter+relay']starter relay[/URL] wire removed above to 30, black in my case"[/I] This is the yellow/red wire soldered to the bottom of the relay? This goes to 30, or does it not matter as long as one of the ground wires goes to 85 and one to 30? So again, I unplug the yellow/red wire from the harness and connect to the relay? [B]UPDATE 1[/B]: I've though more about this and I think I've got one bit wrong. I think the yellow red wire from the switch connects to 30 on the relay and then the yellow/red wire from the starter connects to 85 on the relay. [I]"Put a ring on 87, blue in my case, to connect to the ground of the battery or [URL='https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_nr_n_7?fst=as%3Aoff&rh=n%3A15684181%2Cp_89%3AACDelco%2Cn%3A%2115690151%2Cn%3A15719731%2Cn%3A2286889011%2Cn%3A15731741&bbn=2286889011&ie=UTF8&qid=1503059850&rnid=2286889011&lo=automotive']chassis[/URL]."[/I] THIS I do understand. :) I added a slightly revised wiring diagram that I hope is correct. Thanks for the patience. Hal [ATTACH=full]56389[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]56391[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
