Battery in Trunk Wiring That Exceeds NHRA Requirements

Those relays are definitely designed for different working environments
Gotcha. However, it helped me understand the difference. I know when a solenoid needs replacing, but have never taken the time to learn about them. I think that’s the main reason I had such a hard time with this.
And I say “had”, because I HAVE SUCCESS! IT WORKS! You made me think (ouch!) about grounds. Turns out the right side small stud of the CD is a ground. I put a test lead on there to ground, and presto! BTW, the continuous duty solenoid that I used is a Cole Hersee 24059, if anyone else runs into this.
I replaced that small yellow wire with a 6 gauge, I had mentioned that it was a 4 gauge that I had laying around, but it is a 6.
This photo shows the new 6 gauge wire and the jumper ground wire. All I have to do is finish everything up!
Thank you, crackedback, I could’ve never done it without you!
