found the starter motor liao but MISSION FAILED. I referred to your diagram since you're riding a Putra which more or less the same design as mine. I found 2 wires. one connected to + battery terminal (thicker) , and one is connected to a 3-pin socket (thinner). Which one do I cut? I cut the one connected to the 3-pin socket (thinner one) and wired according ly to the 5-leg relay. According to your diagram, I should connect the leg 30 to the starter motor which really confused me. Which part of the starter motor to connect the leg-30 to? Nways, i just tried grounding it :P the check engine light dowan to come off . I just gave it a crank and I blow ....... my engine not. haha.. actually the fuse blewn. No electrical shop open on Sunday so I have to try again some other time.
Which part of the starter motor should I connect the leg-30 to? I didnt refer to the Web link in the first place because the writer said it's for his 74 beetle. Plus I dont know where to look for ignition wire :)
shed some light for me. thanks.
Dude,
u cut the wrong wire. You need to cut the original wire to the starter motor and it is not located from the (+) terminal of the battery. The wire which u need to cut is located under the intake manifold in my picture. Reach under the intake manifold, u would find the wire, a single black one connected to the starter motor. Take it out first. This wire connects from ur car's ignition key and NOT from the (+) battery terminal.
Okay, actually u dun need to cut anything. U can just take out the original starter motor wire from under the intake manifold and just plug it into leg 85 of the relay. Then use another wire and plug to leg 86 and ground the other end. So now u got 2 legs ready.
Then connect a wire from (+) battery terminal, attach to a fuse, the attach from the fuse to leg 87 of the relay.
Attach a wire from leg 30, and attach it to the start motor underneath ur intake manifold (the one which u took out the wire for leg 85).
Better be careful with ur wirings and make sure u understand 100% before u proceed. PM me if u need more explanations.
