Negative and Positive

[Four by Four]

I recently moved to Illinois and I and a freind pulled the battery, and he reinstalled it without a thought about the connections, and I am wondering if anyone knows what all I am supposed to connect to the Selinoid and what is connected to positive and what to negative.

The Solenoid is a "switch" that supplies POS. voltage to the starter.

The battery + side runs to the solenoid.

The neg. is "ground" & goes fr. battery to the Eng. block.

Thank you! If you have more than one connection to the solenoid, is their a posabillity that their is a schematic that says what is supposed to be connected "also", to the solenoid? My starter is good, but I may have gaped the solenoid in order to start it without the ingnishion, but I don't think that the solenoid has become bad .

Starter Relay Connections '92-96





POS = heavy Red circuit from battery Positive to starter relay, starter solenoid, alternator, and power distribution center

NEG = heavy Black circuit from battery Negative to frame, block, and fender

SOL = medium Red circuit from starter relay to starter solenoid

The relay trigger wire (R/LB) comes from the ignition switch via the clutch switch or MLPS and should only be hot with the key in START and either the clutch fully depressed, OR the auto shifter in P or N.

The solenoid trigger wire goes to the small terminal on the starter. If the relay fails, bridge between the 2 large studs to send power to the solenoid. If the starter still doesn't spin, crawl under the truck, remove the red plastic cover, and BRIEFLY bridge between the 2 large studs on the solenoid (using a heavy metal object with an insulated grip, like a screwdriver) to spin the starter (it won't engage the flywheel or crank the engine). If it still doesn't spin, replace the starter.

130A & heavier alternators use 2 fusible link wires.

The Yellow wire goes to the stud on the side of the power distribution box, and feeds all other factory loads on the vehicle.

You did indeed sight the right picture, in the 1988 Jem270 I was bussy changing over a new alternator and tryed and failed to apply the same connections at the time, but the question I did have is weather or not if you change the firing order of your distributor can you mannage to change how your truck will conserve power, "is this Illigal?" because when I received the truck a F-250 1988, the firing order was wrong and I was not aware of this. But I did notice that it was still running in a "mannor". that seemed to give power to a lower gear, "I personaly thought that the last guy was a idiot!"

yo,

good!

The wrong plug wire routing will cause many issues such as Engine Misfiring/knock

What engine?

Spark Knock or Engine Miss During Heavy Acceleration from Low RPM or Heavy Engine Load TSB 88-12-14 in 88 Bronco, F & E Series 5.8; # 5 and # 6 spark plug wires must be separated to eliminate the possibility of an induction crossfire

Spark Plug Wire Routing & Firing Order TSB 94-04-10

for 87-93 5.0;

& 94-96 5.0

& all 5.8; "...The firing order for 87-93 5.0Ls is 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8. If #7 and #8, or #2 and #4 spark plug wires are routed next to each other at the separation bracket, an induction crossfire condition can occur. The firing order for 94-96 5.0Ls & all 5.8Ls is 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8. On these vehicles the #1 and #3, or #5 and #6 spark plug wires must be separated to eliminate the possibility of an induction crossfire. To eliminate the possibility of the coil wire becoming disconnected, route the coil wire under the spark plug wires at the distributor cap. Engine miss, spark knock, buck/***** surge and other driveability concerns may be caused by induction crossfire. This occurs because of improperly routed spark plug wires. If spark plug replacement is performed, the correct firing order and spark plug wire routing is essential to prevent the possibility of induction crossfire between cylinders. Refer to the following procedures for inspection of the spark plug wire routing and firing order. Properly reroute the spark plug wires if required. Whenever a high-tension ignition wire is removed from a spark plug, the distributor cap, or the coil to perform a maintenance operation, Silicone Dielectric Compound must be applied to the boot before reconnection. Using a small clean screwdriver, apply a thin layer of Silicone Dielectric Compound on the entire interior surface of the boot. Do not apply compound to metal terminals..."
