starter problems

does my 1984 v6 SE have a starter relay switch ??? sometimes when I try to start I get a sound like a Ford solenoid with a low battery.... I replaced the starter and cables but still get the noise sometimes w/o starting ... never seen one so....

Re: starter problems

Never heard that these cars have a starter relay. If it had a Ford type, you would have seen it when you replaced the cables.

Check the voltage on the purple wire at the starter when in start mode. You may have a voltage drop problem, which can happen across connectors and switches (ignition, clutch safety).
