Ford PMGR Starter Wiring Diagram - Solenoid, Relay & Cable Instructions
Starter wiring instructions diagram showing battery positive cable, starter cable, and solenoid stud connections.
This document is a wiring instruction diagram for a Ford PMGR (Permanent Magnet Gear Reduction) starter. It illustrates how to connect a PMGR-style starter motor to the vehicle's starter relay (fender-mounted solenoid) and battery. The diagram shows the battery positive cable attaching to one large stud of the starter relay. A #12 gauge wire (marked with annotation #2) runs from the relay's output side down to the 4MM solenoid stud on the starter motor solenoid, secured with an 8MM nut. The main starter cable, specified as #4 to #2 gauge, runs from the relay (annotation #1) to the large terminal on the starter motor solenoid. The relay terminal labeled 'Relay Terminal Key Switch Or Push Button' identifies where the ignition key switch or a push button trigger wire connects. Callouts identify the 4MM stud and 8MM nut on the starter solenoid. A reader can learn the proper wire gauges (#12 gauge trigger wire, #4-#2 gauge main cable), the connection points on both the fender relay and the starter-mounted solenoid, and the hardware sizes involved when retrofitting or wiring a Ford PMGR starter. No specific model years, engines, or part numbers are stated on the document.
