An intermittent starting issue...

[Scott Hinojos <lightsplicer@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

So when I sometimes try to start my '64 300, I'll turn the key and get just a click. If I wiggle the wires that the arrows are pointing to, the car will start. Sometimes it takes a couple tries, but it starts. It seems obvious that the connections are dirty, and that's causing the problem.

I do clean and tighten (squeeze) the connectors every once in a while, but the problem comes back. Is there a way to fix this permanently? I've considered soldering them, but that seems a bit extreme, and I don't know what I could harm by doing that.

Also, I'm fuzzy on the electrical stuff, but can anyone tell me what these wires are, and is that a relay?

Thank you in advance,

~S~
