Where to get fuel shutoff relay?
My solenoid stopped pulling up yesterday, I cleaned blue wire and it fired up right away. Later when I tried to start, solenoid didn't pickup but lifted when I pushed up. Also thought about pulling solenoid to check for cracked boot and dirt. What is the size of the bolts holding solenoid on and how does the lift arm come off after the retainer pin is pulled?

 

I dont think its the relay. If its the relay it will crank and crank but wont start because its not getting any fuel.

LarryB's Dodge starting problems solved here. is a real good place for these parts - as well they have all kind of fixes for your starter.

You can usually pull off the solenoid, clean off the linkage and reinstall and it usually keeps working for another year. You can make a new boot from an old bicycle tire tube and a couple of tye wraps, or you can get one from the site listed above.


Also, theres some info here that Im sure you will find useful:

There is also good info here: http://www.fostertruck.com/images/st...it_diagram.jpg

 

You can get a new solenoid and relay from eBay from a member named angelofishes IIRC. Mine came from him and it's the same brand as the stock one and bolts right in. WAY cheaper than anyone else.

 

Thanks
