Starter Relay

Just a quick question....

Does the Starter Relay Require an earth from the Transmission Cut out/Reversing light switch to make the Relay operate; or does the Earth PREVENT the Relay from operating......

i.e. can you run the car with the Transmission Cut out/Reversing light switch disconnected or will the car fail to start????

Cheers.

Won't go, needs the ground to make the circuit

If you really want to crash when starting the car I think you can just earth it
my charger used to be like that

i cut a plug off a datsun loom and soldered it to the end of the dodge loom. looks like a right bodge .

worked fine until in fitted a jensen gearbox, which doesnt have reversing lights switch. doh!
