1G Solenoid Wiring

[Lofty]

I make it clear I can't read wiring diagrams at all very well, so I am coming here.

I need to figure out where the solenoid wiring goes to. I know its just on the tab of the solenoid, but the problem is I don't have the wiring harness for the solenoid/starter.

Everything else is fine, just gotta figure out where in the engine bay the starter solenoid hooks up to.

91-94 Harness. A picture would be great. I feel like a noob for posting this, but I'm kinda building this car from the ground up, and have a lot of things rewired myself, but I just can't find where the solenoid wires to the ignition switch in the bay.

Thank you so much.

Would being able to read the wiring diagram help? I can help out with this. I just wouldn't be able to give you a physical location in the engine bay that you should look.

I'm guessing you found the appropriate diagram in the FSM, correct?

I don't know, I've got the Galant wiring manual PDF of 900 or so pages.

I need to know where it plugs into the harness, because I'm not sure what else you'd be able to tell me except that there is indeed a harness in the bay, and there is indeed a wire that needs to be plugged somewhere.

The little solenoid wire runs into the same spot/connector that the reverse light sensor wires run to. Maybe that helps?

On the connector slightly farther down the line, there are four wires. The two black w/ yellow wires are involved in the starting circuit and run to the starter motor/solenoid. The red and red w/ blue wire are for the reverse lights sensor.

Thank you!

I looked in your thread actually, but I can't read.

Much appreciated!

Edit: I think I may have lost this wiring. HMM. I thought a 4 pin pig tail plugged in somewhere. I need to investigate my harness more.

Where did you find that part in your write up? I can't find it.

You're not crazy.

Dammit, I remember when that guy went on a deleting spree of all his stuff. HE SHOULD BE SLAPPED.

Oh well, thank you so much, I think I'll have enough to figure out what's going on with it now.

I appreciate it sir!

Dude. It's simple. One side goes to the battery, the other goes to the flux capacitor.

 

[Lofty]

That was so incredibly unique....



What movie is that from?

Lol. Eat shaft. HA.

It's been a while since I've looked but your looking for a 4pin connector. Square shaped. Should have 3 wires in it I believe. 1 black/yellow and 2 reds. The reds are for your reverse lights, and the black/yellow is your starter wire. At least in a dsm, but I'd doubt its too much different on a GVR4. I can look on mine next weekend when I'm home.

The one that was showing at the drive-in the night your parents made you.

Pretty sure you're giving me too much credit on how old I am.

Bastard, that's what I thought. Thank you sir.

I didn't say it was just out...

Touchè sir, touchè.
