Starter Relay
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Ford RV Cutaway, 2005 Ford Econoline, 2005 Ford E450 Super Duty, and 2005 Ford Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The starter interrupt relay consists of:
- the pull-in coil and contacts.
When the key cylinder is in the START position:
- the pull-in coil is activated and pulls the contacts together.
- current passes through the starter relay to the starter solenoid.
When the key cylinder is returned to the RUN position:
- the relay turns off the starter solenoid, which disengages the pinion from the flywheel.
