Starter Relay: Description and Operation


Starter Relay
The starter interrupt relay consists of:
- the pull-in coil and contacts.

When the key cylinder is in the START position:
- the pull-in coil is activated and pulls the contacts together.
- current passes through the starter relay to the starter solenoid.

When the key cylinder is returned to the RUN position:
- the relay turns off the starter solenoid, which disengages the pinion from the flywheel.
