Some SUPER short yet simple instructions,
*disclaimer* I make no claims for these instructions. They are just a quick recount of what I did.
Please consult with your local electricial codes before attempting.
*end disclaimer*
This recipie will need;
4, pieces of wire ~4 feet long, 12 guage preferred.
1, 20 amp, 4 leg relay
dozen medium sized, male and female, spade connectors for 12 guage wire.
(you may want them 'water proof' [filled with electricians greese])
eyelet for 12 guage wire to go onto battery.
eyelet for 12 guage wire to be used with a sheetmetal screw to use for ground.
selftaping sheetmetal screw.
inline fuse (20 amp)
possibly want to get a soldiering iron, some electricians tape, zip ties, and wire loom and other 'best practices' wiring 'stuff'.
0) mount relay under hood of truck, close to battery and starter.
(We used an existing relay bracket between the battery and the wiper fluid reservior)
1) unplug the starter activation wire from starter.
(should be a small female spade plug on top of the starter)
plug this wire into appropriate spot on relay. (You may need to make an extension wire with a male spade plug to plug into the existing starter wire and a female spade plug to relocate the relay onto the firewall or where every)
2) ground relay;
(make ground wire wire with female spade plug on one end, small eyelet on other end.)
plug this wire into appropriate spot on relay, ground other end with self taping screw. (be sure to get to bare metal)
3) power relay from battery;
(make power wire with female spade plug on one end, big eyelet on the other end.
plug power wire into appropriate slot on relay, stick eyelet onto battery.
(You may want to put an inline fuse in this segment closest to the battery for that just-in-case incident)
4) wire up starter;
(make wire with 2 female spade connectors to run from relay to starter)
plug starter wire from relay to starter.
This will provide additional current to starter via the relay which is now activated via the key switch inside trucklet.
Of course please follow the wiring diagram on the relay.
OR you could BUY a 'clickey starter kit' for sammies from places like Trail Tough, they work JUST the same on our kicks. and I think they are about $25 bucks.
Good luck
