Re: [Chrysler300] BATTERY CABLES 1957 - 1964

Yes, I can tell you.  The brown wire that runs from the starter relay to the starter is the solenoid power wire.  This brown wire runs from the solenoid terminal on the starter relay to solenoid terminal on the starter.  When the ignition key is turned to the start position, the starter relay activates and supplies 12 volt power to the solenoid through this brown wire.  Activation of the starter solenoid engages the bendix drive gear with the flywheel/torque converter ring gear and closes the electrical contact inside the starter that allows 12 volt power from the battery cable to power up the starter motor.

 

All 8 of my 1964 Chryslers have this brown wire installed.  It's kinda' hard to believe your 1964 chrysler doesn't have one, unless someone did some type of fancy rewire job somewhere along the line.  I cannot speak for your car, I can only speak for my cars and how these cars left the factory.

Can someone clarify for me the purpose of the brown wire attached to the positive cable which runs from the starter relay to the starter? The end at the relay has a spade connector and the end at the starter has a round connector. Also which years have the additional wire and which years do not have the wire? My 64 Chrysler does not have the additional wire. My 65 "L" has a wire running from the positive battery terminal to the starter relay marked "FUSIBLE LINK and a smaller gauge wire runs from the relay to the starter. Both cars were purchased used and I've been driving w/o any problems for years. Thanks in advance for the info regarding the battery cable questions. 300 regards....George Ver Berkmoes (83 degrees in Lakeside, CA)
