Re: [DML] purpose of relay

[dherv10@xxxx]

Gus, When starting the car and everything is right, the voltage will drop to 
about 10.25 volts. If you run the voltage thru the complete resistor you will 
have more voltage drop and harder to start the car. So: This relay transfers 
the voltage from the solenoid to the left side of the resistor cutting out 
1/2 of the resistor during starting for more starting power. Some cars 
didn't have the relay, the solenoid wire was hooked directly to the left side 
of the resistor. Either way it will work. On My special HV coil and resistor, 
I go directly to the right side of the resistor, which again gives me more 
starting power.
