I try not to jump anything directly on battery when possible due to chance on a spark at the battery which I have witnessed-blew the sides out of the battery and acid went everywhere! What a mess and dangerous! Also if I am going to make a fair size spark- the spark will make some pitting on the connection points- I would rather those pits be on a "cheap" solenoid than on the starter big post "more expensive" to replace if excessive pitting( nut not longer want to come off post! occurs- not often that it gets that bad but if others have done it before--- DJ Ok,so use a remote starter switch with clamps and a handset with a button. Attach the clamps to the solenoid without fear of sparking because no connection is made between positive and negative until you "pull the trigger/push the button". http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2055119.m570.l1311.R8.TR12.TRC2.A0.H5.Xremote+starter.TRS0&_nkw=remote+starter+switch&_sacat=0 BTW,with only one exception,the only trouble I have ever had with Ford solenoids were related to having bad grounds. Clean the connections including where the legs of the solenoid bolt to the inner fender,and lots of starter problems go away. Edited January 19, 2017 by knuckleharley Quote
pflaming Posted September 26, 2017 Report Posted September 26, 2017 I removed my starter twice then installed a car push button starter. I won two ways, I hated that starter post. Quote
