Attention
!
Ford, Lincoln, Mercury and Mazda
owners.
To reduce the risk of
premature
starter failure these steps must be followed.
Applications equipped with
Motorcraft PMGR
starters have a no start problem that usually occurs
because of a bad ground or due to corrosion at the
ignition terminal of the starter solenoid. Your starter was
originally equipped with a male
spade type connector
which is not protected from the elements thus creating
corrosion and a poor connection. |
|
Ford Motor Company has
recognized this as a
problem. A conversion kit was produced to change
the original spade connector to an eyelet/post
type
connection.
This provides better current carrying
capabilities and is more corrosion resistant.

Installation
To install the ignition wire onto the new starter cut 4-5 inches off of
your existing
ignition wire harness ( this is where the corrosion exists ). Strip 3/8
inch of the
insulation off the ignition wire. Ensure that the exposed copper wire
is clean and
shiny. Insert this wire into the butt connector and crimp using a
proper crimping tool.
Do not remove the plastic protection insulator surrounding the butt
connector. After
crimping the wire into the connector heat the butt connector insulation
until it
conforms to the ignition wire. When you heat this connection the
insulator melts
around the wire creating a weatherproof connection
