Hi,

I'm having a problem or two getting my engine running after a transplant. On the starter solenoid there is a red wire that goes directly to the battery positive, and from the same terminal there is a red and black that comes up the same sleeving and has a connector on the end. Anyone tell me where this goes please.

Thanks
Steve

 

It goes to the ignition switch, when in start position this wire becomes live.

Cheers Martin. I need to find the bit it connects to now.

It goes on the starter solenoid, it should have a receptor on there for the spade it, the feed from battery also connects to solenoid.

I'm 99% sure(as have mine in bits at the mo) the wire for the solenoid goes over to the loom on the nearside chassis rail bit, it's secured on the top, along with the oil pressure light wire, the solenoid feed is also I'm 99% sure black and blue.

Thanks for the replies. The wire I have is red/black and this if it is the same is shown as the correct colour in Haynes. The red / black goes into a connector I found that was hiding behind the battery. This wire dissapears into the loom where haynes shows it changing to black / blue.

I connected the red/black on the solenoid to the bottom threaded connector. Is it right the top threaded connector is unconnected to anything.

The issue I have is that I have put the enhine / box from my old car into a rolling shell. All wiring except the engine loom were in the car already. The car has a Clifford 600 security system in.

I've come to fire her up and the alarm, lights and all other electrics work but the car does not crank over. Car electrics are not my strong point so I'm unsure where to go from here. I've checked the wiring as best I can and all seems ok apart from the solenoid query I have.

Is this pointing to a Clifford problem or something else. Any idea of what to check or do I pull out the Clifford and work from there?

Thanks

Steve

 

tab is 100% right!!

I'm 100% sure the black/blue wire goes from the inner wing to the FRONT of the car and along the cross member in front of rad then along offside inner wing chassis area up to the ignition switch, it does not go into the fusebox, and is not fused, be aware there is ANOTHER black/blue identical in the fusebox that is NOTHING to do with the starter circuit as well!!
