Renix Starter Relay Question

[quaddub_comanche]

What does the double green ring terminal wire go to and/or control?

 

I've been having a huge parasitic draw and finally tracked it down to that wire. I removed it from the relay and it magically fixed a couple issues I've been having. Mainly no more draw and the motor shuts off instantly with the key instead of running for a couple seconds.

Download the electrical manual then you can trace the wire out downstream from the relay.

If it's the one I think it is, it's all the lighting circuits.

 

Have you played around to see what is not working now?

There's a green that goes to the fusebox for radio, headlamp delay and door locks.  And one that goes to the fan control relay. And one to the fusrbox for parklamps, hazard and stoplights, interior lamps.

Thanks for the replies. Parking lamps would make sense, they blow the fuse after being on for around 15 mins. I never really drive it at night so it's been low on my list.

 

The weird thing is everything seems to work, including parking lamps, when the double green wire is removed. The lights did look a bit dim though. I'll have to do some more testing.

How large is the draw with the key off?

huge.................

 

Wonder if he used an ammeter to determine that.

How large is the draw with the key off?

Over 1amp.
