Where does this go?

Edit: I just put it on Dropbox. Let me know if the link works:

I just downloaded your PDF...works fine. Nice bit of info. Thank You

Thanks for the comment. Hope it helps you out, even a little.

Hey guys just put everything back together and to my disappointment the bloody magic button isn't so magic. I tore it all down and traced all my connections and all is good(I think) I have a good ground by the coil and if I bypass my relay the starter motor turns. Almost like I'm not wired or have control from the switch to the relay but not sure how that can be because it's all quick connects. Any thoughts or ideas for me to look further into?? Could it be a faulty relay? That would be weird right out of the box.

Is the battery ground to the same place ??

Do you hear the relay clicking when you hit the (not so magic) button? If not, try to connect +12V from the battery directly to the relay (where the (soon to be magic) button is connected). In that case, you should hear a "click" and the starter should start turning if the relay is OK.

Yes the battery ground is grounded to. The frame right next to the ignition coil ground. I have continuity between battery ground and frame

Ok I'll give this a try when I get home from work tonight. A least ill know if the relay is working thx

I would try what Anders said first and then put a meter on the switch wires and see if you get voltage when you press the button. That will also help determine if you are getting power sent to the relay.

The relay did not click when I pushed the button so I will try it manually with the battery lead see if it will click, I also tried a second brand new starter switch incase it was that and had the same result

I asked a guy I know who has a 12 es which order the cable connected from battery , it wouldn't work , switched wires on relay and it worked , just waiting for some new wire to turn up so I can complete the install,
