STARTER MOTOR RELAY
DESCRIPTION
The starter relay is an electromechanical device
that switches battery current to the pull-in coil of the
starter solenoid when ignition switch is turned to
Start position. The starter relay is located in the
Fuse/Relay Block. The Fuse/Relay Block is located
under, and to the left side of the drivers seat. See
Fuse/Relay Block cover for relay identification and
location.
The starter relay is an International Standards
Organization (ISO) relay. Relays conforming to ISO
specifications have common physical dimensions, cur-
rent capacities, terminal patterns, and terminal func-
tions.
The starter relay cannot be repaired or adjusted
and, if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.
REMOVAL
The starter relay is located in the Fuse/Relay
Block. The Fuse/Relay Block is located under, and to
the left side of the drivers seat. See Fuse/Relay Block
cover for relay identification and location, or refer to
(Fig. 12).
(1) Remove Fuse/Relay Block cover by pushing
down on two tabs located at top of cover (Fig. 13).
(2) Remove relay from Fuse/Relay Block.
(3) Check condition of relay terminals and Fuse/
Relay Block connector terminals for damage or corro-
sion. Repair if necessary before installing relay.
(4) Check for pin height (pin height should be the
same for all terminals within the Fuse/Relay Block
connector). Repair if necessary before installing relay.
