mattkh 0 Posted December 5, 2006 Hi Why does my starter solenoid have 2 spade connectors ? Surely, one is enough to get the signal from the ignition switch to pull the plunger. Thanks in advance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crasher 3 Posted December 5, 2006 One (the back one next to the gearbox) is for what is known as line 50 which is the solenoid command using the thick red/black wire. The other terminal (behind the radiator) is called 15a and is used as a starter cranking live output that was used on K-Jet models to power the cold start injector during cranking and had a black wire going to it.

Hi Crasher You are a star, So, if the cold start injector circuit uses too much current for some reason, there will be less current going through the solenoid, thereby less movement of the plunger. Do you agree ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
