It depends. If the relay is in a socket, pull the relay. Then bridge the 2 socket leg holes that relay legs 30 and 87 went into. That will trigger the starter solenoid. If you do it that way, put a male spade on one end of 2 pieces of wire. Plug the male ends into socket holes 30 and 87. Then when you touch the other 2 wire ends together it will trigger the solenoid. This way the minor sparking is at the wire ends you join and not at the relay socket as that sparking is not good for the socket. Or put a switch on those wire ends to let you turn it on/off without having to touch wire ends together. Mark Jim Felder wrote: > Hmmm.
