Good day All,



Have taken a break from the filling and sanding. Beginning to look at 

electrical wiring and am confused about one small item.....I got a starter solenoid 

from ACS p/n 11-03162. It has the two big bolts on each side, from the battery 

and two the starter, and two smaller bolts on the front. The right one is for 

the solenoid coil with the return connected to the mounting base. But I can't 

ohm out the connection from the smaller left bolt. The tag attached to this 

bolt says "If original has 3 terminals DO NOT use THS "I" terminal". Spelling is 

not wrong from my side, but what the tag reads.

Now I am not using this terminal but if bugs me to not know what it goes to 

or it's purpose.

I think you might find this terminal becomes live when the solenoid is

engaged.  If so, you could use it to control a starter engaged warning

light maybe.

Kingsley,

 

Thank you for the guidance. I have confirmed that the left smaller post on  

the starter solenoid does get the input voltage (+12V in my case) when the  

solenoid is energized.
