Yep, it is on the starter. Just got to buy a remote solenoid from autozone for $15-20 in addition to the one on the starter. "Move" probably wasn't the best word. Then the stock solenoid only gets the wire to the starter side and the solenoid in the trunk has everything else.

Edit: Someone sells a kit with the solenoid and all the wires but I'm not using it since I get the cables free all I need is a solenoid.

 

I've owned two 95 Mustangs and the starter and solenoid were mounted togeather. What some of us are asking is what year is your car? Why is the starter different? Bubba

My starter isn't different. My post before yours explains it. There will actually be two solenoids. The one on the starter cannot be bypassed (that i know of) but it will only be used to start the car. The remote starter solenoid in the trunk controls everything else.

 

Mount the solenoid on the frame under the rear window and toward the right side. Check out this article. http://www.mustang50magazine.com/tec...ing/index.html Great info. Google, there are more out there. MAC

 

Stick to your original idea Genhero. It's the better way to wire up a battery in the trunk.
Not only for the weight transfer and freeing up space in the engine compartment but also it's NHRA track legal and it leaves the big heavy starter wire dead until cranking.

I don't have a pic of my trunk mounted solenoid but you can see it in this video.

BTW. This works better with an old style one wire starter.

Thanks Jfsram, I've watched your video a few times before on another thread. I'm going for the same thing you did there (I have to wire it a bit different because I'm not putting in a kill switch for the track). I definitely wouldn't move my battery to the trunk without have the starter wire dead until cranking, like you have it.

Have you ever had any problems with anything you put in the trunk bumping into the solenoid or is that why you put the battery in front of it?

I know how to do all the wiring, I'm just worried something I put in the trunk may slide over and bump the solenoid but I like where you mounted it, it seems to be up high enough to not get bumped.


Thanks MadMac, I probably will mount it there. They seem to put there battery in front of it too.

 

Nother small tidbit to keep in mind, go ahead and buy a new seal for the fuel filler neck that goes int the fuel tank. you will have to drop the tank down before you drill and mount your battery box. Might as well change it out now while you have the tank down. You will thank me latter. It is old and will stretch or tear when you drop the tank. Another hind-site 20/20 from the OLD FART!!!!!!

Local Ford Dealership Parts Dept should have them in stock.

 

lol, yeah i had to replace it a few weeks ago when I changed the fuel pump. It was almost it two pieces. Its always something with this car. Rewired all the speakers and installed a cd player... then the ignition snapped inside the column. Tried for almost an hour to get it out, didnt even budge. Gotta love it.

 

I know what your talking about. I have already replaced all my sensors, CCRM. Age catches up to all of us, be it man or machine. I'm still chasing ghost's in my electrical system. Only happens when the engine is at operating temp. Got to love the challenge!!!!!
