help please

[BIGorange2]

I need help with my starter selnoid Im missing a wire and i dont know where it goes to i know its suppose to go to the igniton but i dont know how so help would be nice.

thats normal. does it start ok? they make a couple different styles of solenoids one for the starter with no solenoid on it and one with. so you are ok.

[BIGorange2]

thats normal? but then where does the igniton wire go? because where i made that circle it has an I for igniton im guessing. And when i put the key in the igntion it doesnt even turn over but gets power because the lights work. And when i get out to manually put a screw driver to the ends of the solenoids it dosent even turn over there.

i went into autozone and asked for a 1984 ford bronco 2 starte solenoid and this is what they gave me the stock one is exactly the same so i dont know whats wrong

[Ranger Dave]

look here

[Ranger Dave]

my 85 only has one

[BIGorange2]

ranger dave im looking at the diagram and i see a starter relay is that the same as the solenoid? if so i see two wires coming off of it one from the battery to it and one from the relay to the ignition module

Mine looks just like yours in the picture. Plugs in the same as well.

[Ranger Dave]

are you gettin 12v to the little red wire with the key in the start position

[drofman]

if you jump it form the S terminal to the baterry post, will it turn over or at least click? make sure it's out of gear before you do this. Is this why you changed the starter realy in the 1st place?

If im not mistaken thats the solenoid for the older types with points correct? I think the "I" terminal was to send a full 12v to the points to start the vehicle, but i really cant say for sure my 86 has the 3 post, but the best is to try and jump the solenoid, test the clutch interlock switch, and make sure there is not a short to ground on the power wire going to the starter. i hope this helps.....

my 84 is the same, but i have a red terminal wire with a fuseable link in it also I,ll look and see if i see where it goes. youve never said if it fires up and runs too.
