    Starter relay - which terminal is positive?

    Starter relay - which terminal is positive?
    Is it the one at the back on the left side with the yellow and green wire or to the front on the right next to the fuse box?

    My guess is at the back on the yellow wire side but I want to make sure.
    Tried to down load picture but it would not work...

    thanks

    Either one but let the wires tell you which one fits better. A solenoid is just a relay designed to pass relatively high current for a short time. Usually the battery side is on the left as you describe it.

      Generally the yellow/green wire is the supply to energise the coil.
      It's usual to see a separate ground wire fitted from a mount screw.
      The battery box is not guaranteed to ground the relay case.
