Starter Relay issue
|

Okay guys, I'm new to this forum. Not new to wings by any stretch of the imagination, but new to the 1200's. I picked up my 84 Interstate yesterday and rode it home nearly 200 miles without an issue. I went out this morning to try and clear out some of the rat's nest that the PO had left under the shelter. When I traced one of the wires back to the battery, I found that the connector to the starter relay had melted and taken part of the relay with it.
On another board, I was informed that I could use a relay from a Ford to circumvent this, so I tried it. Here's my problem, I'm not sure where the 30 amp fuse is supposed to go, and honestly I don't really know how the wires are supposed to be connected. The relay I have is a four pole relay and is grounded like most to the body/frame. I have the green and red wire connected to the grounding point that attaches to the body, but that is the only thing I know for sure that I have right. Can someone help a brother out? :YMPRAY: :YMPRAY: :YMPRAY:

Just ribbing you :lol: :lol:
Welcome aboard, you will find plenty of help here for your 1200 Even when you have the mod done, examine it occasionally to make sure it doesn't loosen off over time other wise this might happen...... <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://gl1200goldwings.com/viewtopic.php?f=55&t=8632">http://gl1200goldwings.com/viewtopic.php?f=55&t=8632</a><!-- m --> maybe a little dielectric grease might help to keep the moisture out. Carry a spare fuse.

No harm, no foul. Just trying to get acclimated to the surroundings. :d
