Glow and Start Relays
These relays are attached to the radiator shield that is
located below the seat.
Note: The start relay may be manufactured by one of
three different manufacturers. Verify manufacturer
name and part number before performing the resistance
check on the relay coil.
Note: Prior to taking small resistance readings with a
digital multi meter, short the test leads together. The me-
ter will display a small resistance value (usually 0.5
ohms or less). This resistance is due to the internal re-
sistance of the meter and test leads. Subtract this value
from from the measured value of the component you are
testing.
1. Verify coil resistance between terminals 86 and 85
with a multimeter (ohms setting).
A. For the glow relay (Bosch #0 332 002 150), re-
sistance should be from 41 to 51 ohms (Fig. 13).
B. For the start relay (Bosch #0 332 204 174), re-
sistance should be from 60 to 70 ohms (Fig. 14).
C. For the start relay (Potter & Brumfield
#VF4-55F11), resistance should be from 85 to 95
ohms (Fig. 14).
D. For the start relay (Hella Electronics #66214), re-
sistance should be from 70 to 80 ohms (Fig. 14).
2. Ground terminal 86 and apply +12 VDC to terminal
85. The relay should pick up making the sound of a
sharp click.
A. Resistance between terminals 30 and 87 should
be 1 ohm or less.
B. On the start relay, resistance between terminals
30 and 87A should read as an open circuit.
3. Remove +12 VDC from terminal 85. The relay should
drop out making the sound of a sharp click.
A. Resistance between terminals 30 and 87 should
read as an open circuit.
B. On the start relay, resistance between terminals
30 and 87A should be 1 ohm or less.
4. Disconnect voltage and leads from all terminals.
