through it to pull in the starter solenoid on the
starter motor. Last year I came across a website
and am trying to find it that has photos of how
he fixed the problem. He mounted a Ford style
starter relay (the round one same as the
replacement relay for the sticky factory glow
plug relay) on the passenger engine side firewall
and extended the wires from where the plug in
relay was under the dash and hooked em up to the
new Ford relay mounted on the engine side
firewall. Viola!! The starter relay is now
capable of withstanding better than 200 amps
without damage aka no more sticking relay.
