84 cougar 6cyl starter solenoid wiring Reply #1 – August 19, 2008, 03:22:03 PM My 84 T-Bird 3.8 relay is mounted at an angle. The pointed up and toward the firewall big terminal has the large black wire to the starter motor.The pointed down and toward the battery big terminal has the red battery cable and 4 other wire ring terminals. One is yellow, one has two wires in it that may have been red before they faded and two are black or dark blue.The small push-on connector toward the engine with two red wires in it. Quote Selected

Then you can look for yourself.its pretty basic though, red boot wire- slip it on one stud, ignore the other stud which is not usedhook your starter wire up to one large stud.hook your battery and all other ring lugs to the other large stud.If the car does not start (no noise at all, relocate your red slip on boot to the the other slip on stud.
