check the words Trevor

[QUOTE=Trevor;508869]Not the correct way to do it, as the relay does not isolate the ignition switch and circuit from the load imposed by the starter solenoid.

Of course it does! The ignition switch only has to provide the voltage to the relay field, the power to the starter comes through the closed relay circuit from the fused supply line to energize the starter right from the battery. The reduced voltage from the ignition switch is enough to work the relay and on my car it does every time.
