Thank you!
Although I have a reman Denso 280-0169 that will be going in (original starter, 165k miles), I am seriously considering doing this anyway. I know how to test how much voltage I am getting at the solenoid on crank but have read from people that even while getting battery voltage on that connector while disconnected, that number went way down when connected. How does one even measure that?
Even though in principle I would like to limit my modifications, I am thinking to do one of these options or the third one I read about splicing some wire into the existing connector-wire and leaving it aside as an emergency jumper. I'm just not ready to cut any wires yet!
I hate "adding" unnecessary components: One more complication - one more failure point. But this has more benefits than losses in my opinion.
I installed my extra solenoid without cutting wires. Get a set of 4.8mm spade connectors (male/female) and plug-n-play. Use a little dielectric grease and wrap with a good electric tape. Zip tie to secure and you're done. Standard 6.3mm/.25" spades can work with modification to the male spade.
