Re: Adding relays
If you're installing a relay and it looks like a ford starter solenoid make sure you get one with a continuous duty coil. The regular starter relay coils are only meant for interment operation. Having it powered up continuously will cause the coil to overheat and fail. And they never give you the option to pick a time or schedule when it will fail.

Re: Adding relays
Just finished up wiring this for a customer. 71 GMC. Previous---ahem, techs---not knowing what they were doing really had it messed up. Couple of weeks off and on working on this in the engine compartment, under the dash and down the rail to the trailer plug.
