David,
If he is wiring the starter from the key the brown wire will go directly
from the starter solenoid to the key switch terminal marked "50". If
you are wiring with a button, the power comes from the key switch
position "15/54", via fuse #5 (from the left) on the big fuseblock.
"15/54" is hot whenever the key is on, giving power to the middle 5
fuses (#3-#7).
I hope this doesn't confuse you further. Makes sense to me, but I went
to school for it :)

Everything seems understandable except the starter circuit. James likes to start from the key but I get lost as I follow the circuit from starter to relay to fusebox. Can anyone shed light? I need to know specifically how the wire from the relay (brown) gets power. David |
