One question in that there is a second red wire that has to be hooked up to the battery as well with the starter lead which ends up at the key switch. I don't see it in any wiring drawings thus can some one enlighten me?
Ahhh, the curse of the PO shows its head!! The Haynes diagram only shows one battery red wire going to the starter relay. So, you'll have to trace the wire to the other end...you said key switch...and figure out what's going on.
In my limited understanding, as I said, a red wire goes to the starter relay from the battery. From the starter relay, it shows two other red wires, one to the diode board and one to the ignition switch. So, I'm wondering if there's a problem with the red wire from the relay to the ignition switch and the PO decided to "fix" that problem by just running a separate red wire??
