Yes that is where thay are located but, if he is getting voltage to the relay then it cant be a link...

RE: elictrical problem
It actually is not a solenoid it is a relay. To be classified as a solenoid it has to have a coil to magnetise a pluger to work as an actuator(ex. to move the fork on a starter to engage the pinion gear to the ring gear).A starter solenoid work be directly mounted on the starter. On fox body's it is a positiveengagement starter and has a separate relay. Positive-engagement starters use the armature windings of the starter motor to engage the drive gear not a solenoid.

Ok what ever. The fusable links come off the postive side of the solenoid and feed the ignition switch. He can have voltage there but not through the links if they are burned. The power originates there, not the other way around.

RE: elictrical problem
but he is getting voltage to the coil in the relay to close the contacts. If therelay is working by the sound he said he hears(click)then he has voltage on the starter side of the relay. therefore it has to be in between the starter itself or its wiring to the relay.Correct?? By looking at the wiring schematic link above, shownsno fusable link between therelay and the starter.According to the schematic, all the fusable links are all feeding up to the relay....

RE: elictrical problem
well how about that, they call it a relay in the diagram...
at any rate, you can't walk into a parts store and ask for a starter relay and be handed the right piece, its just not usually called that.

RE: elictrical problem
Yes i do see the yellow wire going to the relay, but if the fusable link was blown in that wire then he would not be getting the relay contacts to close since that is the feed to close the contacts on the relay.All the guy needs to do is get a multimeter and check it out to see where he has voltage. If he has voltage on the starter side of the relay, then it cant be a link
