Re: Solenoid identification
Where do the 2 black cables go to ? Not a Trojan install , but I have a pretty good Idea . Let me know about the cables .

Re: Solenoid identification
Both black ends cables aren’t attached to anything—I was under the assumption each would possibly go to a positive terminal on each battery?
I’m going to stop over tomorrow after work and try to trace the red wiring.

Re: Solenoid identification
I was expecting you to say the cables went to each positive cable . As a way jump the batteries . Trojan used a system like that . And that looks very similar . But the parts and wiring don't look factory . Maybe some one redid it ? Or made there own ? Do you have a emergency start switch ? It also looks like there is no ground wire for the solenoid/relay

Re: Solenoid identification
Great minds think alike!
Yes, I have the emergency start button. And you would be correct—there is no ground, which puzzled me.
How would I test if this thing even works? I was planning to install a battery switch and extra battery per motor—that would be a better option, no?
