4 terminal solenoid wiring. Collection of 4 pole starter solenoid wiring diagram. The two larger terminals handle the large currents needed by the starter. The last terminal is usually the r terminal and was used on ignition systems that used a ballast resistor for the coil. By rmaxey fri may 04 2012 810 am. The one or two small terminals handle the small signal current from the ignition switch. There are two large terminals and one or two small terminals.
The other 2 are for the control circuit. If the solenoid has 4 wires usually one is to the battery positive one is from the solenoid to the starter. There are 3 terminals on the solenoid insulating cover also called starter solenoid cap those are terminal b or 30 terminal m or c and start terminal s or 50. A solenoid that has 3 terminals total such as tr118665 grounds through the mounting hardware so it must be attached to a clean and corrosion free bare metal surface if not otherwise internally grounded. One will have a s by it. It reveals the elements of the circuit as streamlined shapes and the power and signal links between the gadgets.
A 4 terminal starter solenoid like the pollak pk5230701 needs to be wired so that the 12v power inout is connected to the two larger terminals while the two smaller terminals are connected to ground and an ignition source. 4 pin solenoid wiring diagram. Identify each terminal on the solenoid. A wiring diagram is a streamlined conventional pictorial representation of an electrical circuit. Connect one to the battery the other tho the big lug on the starter. Of the small terminals one gets grounded chassis the other goes to the start terminal on the key.
Sometimes there are 4 terminals on the solenoid cap and those are. Short of actually seeing it i can give you a verbal. A 3 terminal solenoid grounds through the hardware so if you didnt run a wire for ground to the 4 terminal solenoid then that is your issue. The two big terminals are the high current ones. Sat apr 12 2014 800 am. This is the switch terminal and should get battery voltage from the switch when you are trying to start the engine.
Solenoids usually will have three or four terminals. Terminal b or 30 terminal m or c start terminal s or 50 and ignition terminal r or 15a as shown in fig below.
