on the 4.0 the soliniod is mounted on the starter. There should be a wire that comes through the clutch interlock (if you still have that there) and directly to the starter. My cherokee starter (on the TJ) and the large guage wire from the battery and a smaller wire from the key.
I hope that helps you out

My Chiltons drawing shows:
red from battery to starter (large motor wire)
red from battery to one side of the starter relay
Green from the relay to starter solenoid
green from ignition switch to the other side of the starter relay - then to ground
Fan temp sensor? WTF is that? I don't think I have one of those...Quote:

Is that what Lance would do?
I'm sure there is a plug you can use for the sending unit, its not like this hasn't been done before.
The rover has 4 temp sending units :D
edit- I made one of those and might have it sitting on a shelf at my parents house. It was before I found the extra plug on the intake. 3/4" in, 3/4" out, 1/8" npt with 10-32 bung for ground connection. I think I used some exotic sheet too, or at least 310, if you can wait a month and find a way to get it from CS you can have some genuine FlemCo to help navigate you through the trail of life.

when i say no relay, what i really mean is no remote solenoid. i didnt actually check the fuse/relay box for a relay. regardless, if there is a relay in there all its doing is keeping the solenoid current out of the ignition switch. i plan on running one of those anyhow.
that fuse and relay box under the hood only contains fuel injection and abs type stuff
the engine harness has a purple tail wire that says "CONNECT TO IGNITION FOR STARTER SOLINOID" So I guess i'll just connect that to whichever wire is hot while cranking

if you want to prevent clicky starter in the future, if you are using an old YJ harness, connect that purple wire to a relay and have your "hot while cranking" wire from the ignition switch activate the relay.
edit: thats the only thing i didnt put on a relay on the entire scout and guess what, i got clicky starter.
this guy has one:

Use a sealed weatherproof relay from a mid 90's caddy. They have the goofy green "o-ring" type thing like the weatherpack connectors and a skirt on the relay.
i know there is a kit for the fords where they used a fender mounted solenoid and starter mounted solenoid in series, we had to do this on my brothers truck b/c it kept toasting solenoids http://static.summitracing.com/globa...-11000-a50.pdf
just test fired it. Runs good and idles fine - O2 sensors hanging.
I can't seem to find a "hot in start and start only" wire from the ignition switch to hook my purple start wire too. I just touched the wire to 12V to start. Seems like all of the wires coming from the ignition are either hot all the time or hot in start AND run...
