[Peugeot-L] Joe Grubbs' starter relay fix

From: kenneth parker <elkeni_at_mac.com>

        Some years back I had a similar starting issue. A list member, Joe Grubbs, was kind enough to explain the hook-up to me. Below please find my written out version of Joe's solution. I have tried to write it so that someone could read it to Stevie Wonder and he would do the job correctly. This fix was for an 84 XN6. I have no idea how, or if, it applies to the most recent car in question. Ken

> I just had a look at my wagon's relay setup (84 505 GL) and have the
> following to report:
>       I used a Radio Shack 30 amp automotive relay (cat. # 275-226),
a fuse
> holder (for a 30 amp automotive fuse),  about 6 feet of insulated
wire
> and some push-on terminals.  The relay has four terminals numbered
> 30/51, 85, 86, and 87.
>   1.      After you figure out where you want to install the new
relay
> disconnect the battery and remove the smaller wire from the starter
> (the one that goes to the solenoid).  Either lengthen this wire (you
> should have the relay in a place that you can reach) or, if it is
long
> enough, simply connect it to terminal #86 on the relay.
>   2.      Install a ground wire to (grounded somewhere cleanly and
> securely) to terminal #85 on the relay.
>   3.      Run a wire from the solenoid connection (where you removed
the
> old wire) to terminal #30/51 (it may just say #30) on the relay.
>   4.      Install a wire from one end of the fuse holder to the
battery +
> terminal and the other end to terminal #87.
>   5.      Install the 30 amp fuse into the holder.
>   6.      Make sure the wires are hooked up to the appropriate
terminals.
>   7.      Reconnect the battery.
>       This procedure worked well for me.  I got about three years of
> trouble-free starting before the starter finally quit.
