One dumb question : Here , i don't have my GM owner manuals ,i should check this in the shop , but , IIRC , in the diagram was specified the wire gauge , nope ? or i'm tripping ? Back to my question , the starter solenoid control wire (purple) is usually 12 AWG , nope ? , last owner hacked wires , using smaller section wire than 12 AWG, damn!!!!. All the charts on internet , are talking about solid wire , and not stranded wire , anyone has conversion chart , for STRANDED WIRE , AWG to O.D. in mm/inches ? Thanks

2mm diameter wire should be plenty for the starter solenoid. If you can make it purple, that would be the best, to keep it looking stock.
Here's a useful link to convert the nonsensical AWG numbers to some real units: http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/aw...uge-d_731.html

Glad that you're doing it the right way!

Hi :

Thanks for the info , i already know this URL , for better info look in wikipedia.org , theres a nice article about AWG . [ LINK ]

The diameter information in the table applies to solid wires.

12
-> 2.053 mm

I was looking for a chart for convert stranded wires into AWG , as NINÅ says , one factor is the stranding config. Anyone has a table ?

I'm trying to do it by the right way , following the rules of our god GM , no more junk cheap-patch 1mm wire.


Cheers!

AWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESOME!!!! Thanks for the info.

+5 !!!
