When the 2 terminals touch, that is what completes the circuit
& engages the starter. The terminals should not touch.

Subject: IML: Question on Starter
Relay
Hi IMLers;
As you probably recall, I had a fire in my 61
Imperial about 2 weeks ago. I
was able to go out to
the salvage yard
this past week and pull a wiring harness out of a mid 60's
Chrysler and
got everything
all back together. I put a new Starter relay in the car and
everything is
hooked up. I haven't tried it
out yet because I have one
final question before I do. At the bottom of the
relay is the
positive
cable. Just above this cable is a screw terminal that had a small,
flat,
square plate. With the wire
installed under the screw, this plate
touches the installed positive cable.
I took this plate off and
now it
doesn't touch the positive cable. Is this supposed to touch or not? I
don't want to have a
dead short and have another fire again.
Any
information about this would be greatly
appreciated..
Sincerely,
John & Shirley
Nimmo
1961 Imperial almost back and running
again!
