Re: Starter solenoid question

If you're putting a push button starter in, why not just run a new wire to your starter? That way you don't have to chase anything down. If you don't want to do that, then just trace the wire back from what's on the starter right now. And the wire should be about 12-14 ga.

I traced it back to the fues box and then losed it from there (going into the cab).

Re: Starter solenoid question

I GOT IT.....it is the PPL/WHT wire that’s connected to the starter solenoid. You can find that wire connected to the starter switch at the base of the steering column.
