Is there a relay for the starter?
Is there a relay for the starter?
The relay is the switch mounted on the outside of the starter motor housing with its own case. Most of the time, when a starter motor fails, it is usually the starter motor relay and not the armature or gear that goes bad. External starter relays are separate from the starter motor.
What causes a starter relay to burn out?
It could be the result of a broken starter. It can be a case of decreased electrical conductivity due to dirt. After the ignition switch is taken back to the ‘off’ position, burnt out contacts remain closed.
Will a starter relay click if it’s bad?
If your starter relay has gone bad, the electrical signal will never make it from the battery to the starter motor. A faulty relay often produces an audible clicking sound when you turn your car. Contact a mechanic immediately if your car fails to start and you notice this sound.
How do I know if it’s my starter or solenoid?

My starter solenoid has no diode installed at all. Why didnt Cessna install one there? everything I read that diodes should be installed on all solenoids. Diodes are cheap so I can easily put one on the starter solenoid. My starter solenoid has 2 terminals on the front. One goes to ground and the other goes to key switch.
What kind of Master solenoid does a Cessna 172 use?
I have a 1958 172 and have been working on a sticky master solenoid. The one that has been in it forever is a Cutler Hammer (Eaton). I cleaned it out as there was sticky oil in the bottom of it that made the solenoid very slow to come on in cooler weather.
