Default Burning up Starter Relay or Solenoid

I've got a 2003 G22a that keeps burning up the Start relay or Solenoid. I've replaced it several times with only a few minutes on each one before they burned up again. I noticed that the red white wire always has voltage when the engine is running. Is that correct..? Should the voltage be discontinued after the engine begins to run..?

Are you using a oem style relay, or a auto parts store relay? Automotive ones are not rated for 100% duty cycle. The small wires should be energized whenever the engine is cranking or running.

Default Re: Burning up Starter Relay or Solenoid

The solenoid should be energized from one small terminal whenever the gas-pedal is pressed,and will drop out only when the pedal is released(If the engine is running,so is the solenoid). 2-common causes of this. 1:The gas-pedal switch is stuck on,which will energize the solenoid when the key is turned on.Its mounted on the pedal-assembly under the floor-panel. 2:The solenoid you are using is a "Starter-Solenoid" which is Intermittent-Duty.You need a Continuous-Duty solenoid,either the OEM replacement,or one for a Snow-Plow,Lift-Gate,etc...I've used them for years,they work great and are alot cheaper than OEM.Hope this helps.

Hey Guys,
Thanks for your reply and the fix was to use a heavy duty solenoid.
