Then when you turn the switch to crank position, the ford solenoid trips/engages and sends power down to the starter.

You'll need a jumper or copper strip to hook from the battery cable stud on the starter solenoid to the 'S' terminal on the solenoid. 'S' terminal is where the original purple engage wire was hooked up.

Hooked up this way, the solenoid gets more power for starting/engaging. The starter has the same amount of power as before. The ford relay just turns the power on and off going down to the starter.

Thats how i have it wired. When i hook up the battery ,the starter wants to engage..It doesnt matter if i have the purple wire hooked up or not.The starter wants to engage when the battery is hooked up..
