Hey all. I'm looking for insight on how to wire this three terminal starter relay on my 65 FLH. Can anyone advise the wiring schematics or supply a diagram? Thanks yall!
You're awesome man, thank you. I'm just making those connections dorectly? Am i disconnecting anything off the current wiring? I know, Im super amateur with the electric side of this rebuild but appreciate the help.
Standard convention would put pin 85 to ground, but it will work with 86 as ground (unless the relay is protected with a diode as some oem relays are).
It is #54 in the pic below (top right in pic) The diagram is from gthe HD service manual. It was standard on Electra Glides beginning 13 February, 1967. The factory kit was part #71451-65.
It was mounted to a bracket on the bottom of the battery carrier. I added one to my 65 back around 1986 and made my own bracket (the bracket was incorporated into battrey carriers until a different relay came into use around 1973). Never caused me a problem.
