How do you install a new starter relay?
Match up the metal or copper blades at the bottom of the relay with their correct slot in the PDC. Then place the new starter relay in position and gently push down on it until it seats itself completely back into the PDC. Reinstall the cover for the power distribution center and then remove the tape from the battery cable’s terminal.
What are the different types of starter relays?
There are two types of starter relays: internal starter relays and external starter relays. Internal starter relays are built within a starter motor. The relay is the switch mounted on the outside of the starter motor housing with its own case.
Why does my stereo have an external starter relay?
In addition, external starter relays tend to have easy access for someone to tap in a fuseable link to a stereo amplifier. This is usually fine; however, when the amplifier is active and the starter motor becomes active, the relay can create too much heat, destroying the contact points inside and making the starter relay ineffective.

What happens when the starter relay is stuck?
If the starter stays on after the engine has ignited, the main contacts in the starter relay have most likely welded together in the closed position. When this occurs, the starter relay will be stuck in the on position and damage will occur to the starter, circuit, relay, and the transmission flywheel if it is not addressed immediately.
