CenTXFJ60
SILVER Star
I have a clone 61 I built several years back. Have always had an intermittent issue with the starter clicking. Only happens when ambient temp is high (summer months in TX) and the engine is at normal operating temps. Originally had a 24v relay on there that I harvested off a 61 harness. Swapped to a 12v one I bought from a fellow mud member in Canada. Been a few years since I installed the 12v and it still occurs. My son helped me wire in the relay to my FJ60 harness so I don’t have the knowledge of where each wire is sourcing from (these 4)
I know the white one is from the battery and the black/red goes to the starter. Tested all 4 with the key off and the red/black one is the only one not hot (makes sense). I opened up the relay (forgot to take a pic) and it looks brand new inside. The contacts look super clean as well.
So two questions…is there something I can look at and possibly correct or can I throw an aftermarket relay (like this Napa one I have) in there. If the aftermarket one, does anyone have any recommendations on where the wires should go? I know the battery one goes on the larger left post. Red another post where @duncanrm commented about this job. Any help is appreciated.
