[QUOTE="GMAK, post: 1416646, member: 17060"] I recall Fords from the 60's/70's with the relay usually mounted somewhere kinda' close to the battery. Most often on an inner fender. That arcing technique was a popular tactic then to get the vehicle to start that otherwise would not. However, I recall (perhaps incorrectly), that the tactic was only practiced by those with a bad relay. It seems that if the relay was good there'd be no reason for the arcing bypass maneuver. Or so it seems to me. But, I fully understand your suggestion. You're right, it will produce some fireworks. I think most vehicle manufacturer's have relocated their relays for greater concealment. Thank you, for the suggestion. It would be a valuable test. [/QUOTE]
