So I just lately have had a problem where the new starter is not engaging. I'm pretty sure that it is being caused by the main starter/everything relay mounted on the bulkhead. This is a 74 lightweight that was running a diesel 2.5 block with a gas 2.25 head so not sure how the truck was originally set up.
Looked around the catalog and haven't found anything related to this relay so instead of replacing I'm going to do a work around and start using the starter's built in relay. No big deal there...
My question is, could my the relay be the source of an electrical draw I've been experiencing? Can the relay it's self be sucking up juice?
Not a very good picture of it but you can see the relay I'm talking about just below the two aluminum boxes mounted on the bulkhead here. It's the black plastic thing with the main battery feed going to it. Click the image for a better view.
Curious about the forums thoughts on this.
