Installing 2nd Battery Quesiton


Recommended Posts

Posted

I just purchased a painless dual battery solenoid and have a question or two if anyone can help...

Here is the PDF instructions

http://www.painlessperformance.com/Manuals...Instruction.pdf

 

The part I'm someone confused on is this paragraph (under step 4)

NOTE: ON GM, CHRYSLER AND SOME JEEP/AMC VEHICLES THE STARTER SOLENOID IS

MOUNTED ON THE STARTER. ON FORD AND SOME EARLY JEEP/AMC VEHICLES THE

STARTER SOLENOID IS MOUNTED ON THE FENDER, DO NOT REMOVE THE STARTER

SOLENOID. RUN A SEPARATE CABLE FROM THE STARTER SOLENOID TO THE MAIN

BATTERY SIDE OF THE ISOLATOR SOLENOID TO COMPLETE YOUR CIRCUIT.

Step

 

Is this saying remove the factory starter solenoid wire that runs from there to the + of the main battery or add an additional wire from the painless solenoid to the start solenoid and keeping the +wire from the battery to the starter solenoid in place?

 

I haven't recieved the kit yet, just doing a little research on it before i install it. Thanks for the help!

I was looking at the same kit...But I think you can just use the relay that's on the passenger rear firewall next to the battery.

It would be a second (seperate) cable from the main post on the Solenoid to the new Isolation Relay.

 

Be sure to route this new cable away from any source of heat and protect it from damage.
