Sergio Thanks for this info. IT WAS AWESOME!

Exactly what a knucklehead like me was looking for. If you don't mind, send me the name of the place where I can buy the 5 and ten packs??

Thanks so much.

I like getting some of this stuff from Amazon Prime just for the convenience:

5 pack of Relays with harnness

100 pack of 1n4007 diodes

You should always use a diode across the solenoid coil, the 1amp diode is good for solenoids up to 200amps. Some of the 400amp solenoids can have a higher cold coil start-up current, so typically You would use a 3amp diode.

I was just looking at my set up. The relay close to the key switch is only for the brake lights. You may have a blue, blue-white, orange, and green-white hooked up. The green-white carries juice to the brake. When key is on, it should be hot. If it is, the problem will be under the floor. Hopefully the fuse and not the timer.
