Starter Wiring Diagram
The ignition key supplies the power to actuate a relay which in turn actuates the solenoid.
Starter wiring diagram. Wiring diagrams vs line diagrams most of the diagrams in this book are shown in two ways. There is a wiring diagram and adjacent to it a line diagram line diagrams are included because their use is becoming more widespread and we believe it is advantageous to learn to use them. Please refer to the manufacturers literature if in doubt. The solenoid acts like a switch opening and closing the high amperage circuit to the starter.
See how the anti. Also the starter solenoid is not energized and the drive gear is. The starter solenoid works as a powerful electric relay. A wiring diagram is a streamlined conventional photographic representation of an electrical circuit.
Learn to navigate this systems wiring circuitry and diagram using current flow analysis relay and module operation and neutral switch actuation such as circuit completion. Other solenoids mostly on fords are remote mounted. Most vehicles use a starter mounted solenoid that functions as a high power switch to connect the starter drive pinion gear with the flywheel to start the engine. It shows the parts of the circuit as simplified shapes and also the power and also signal links in between the tools.
A typical starter solenoid has one small connector for the starter control wire the white connector in the photo and two large terminals. When the ignition switch has not turned to the start gear no current will passes through the relay coil and the starter relay contacts are open. The typical starting system wiring diagrams can divide into non relay control type single starter relay control type and security starter relay control type. Assortment of 3 phase motor starter wiring diagram pdf.
The starter solenoid wiring diagram with starter relay shows in the following fig. These solenoids are. Most on starter solenoids are easy to wire as you mount the starter on the engine. A chevy starter requires a lot of amperage which in turn requires a large 4 gauge wire from the battery to the starter solenoid.
Starting control circuit with starter relay. One for the positive battery cable and the other for the thick wire that powers the starter motor itself see the diagram below. If you are not sure of how to make the connections on your equipment hire an electrician.
