Xmas6 Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 OK - I’m admitting defeat here, wiring up the starter on my 74 ‘6 I find a “heavy” white and red wire and a light white and yellow wire. There’s a large and smaller terminal on the solenoid, now logic tells me the heavy wire goes to the larger terminal and the lighter (coil supply) goes to the small one - right! NO!!! If I wire it that way nothing happens, reverse it and it works! Any clues as to what I have done? I have been bu**ering about with the ignition switch but I’m reasonably sure it’s wired correctly.

RobH Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 What year is your '6 is it the 73 model? There were many changes over the years but in that model the schematic below shows white/yellow wire is the direct feed to the ballasted coil for starting and should only be live while the engine is cranking. The white/red is power from the ignition switch to operate the solenoid. If it only works one way round that is probably correct. This may help but may not be 100% : http://www.advanceautowire.com/tr2506.pdf Quote Link to post Share on other sites
