    Is it possible to buy the small lead that snaps on a starter relay?

      I got a BWD one from advance auto parts and it's been in about a year, so far so good.

        Do these go bad? Just kidding! I've used Motorcraft almost exclusively because my old friends still bill me out at "employee cash sale". I have used GP in a pinch (also two screwdrivers). As long as the relay winding says it's "diode protected" it should be okay.

          They occasionally fail. If you start cooking them, replace the starter. Usually when the starter begins to die, it pulls too much current and frys the relay as a result.


          If the push-on thing is broken, a ring terminal and a nut fixes it. I think thats an 8-32 or 10-32 stud.
