AI caption · Photo 561 of 1799

This document is a labeled wiring illustration titled 'Ford (PMGR) Starter Wiring Instructions,' showing how to wire a Ford PMGR (Permanent Magnet Gear Reduction) starter motor. The diagram depicts a fender-mounted starter relay at the top and the PMGR starter motor with its integral solenoid at the bottom. Callouts indicate that the battery positive cable connects to one large stud of the relay, while the main starter cable — specified as #4 to 2 gauge — runs from the relay's other large post down to the starter solenoid's main terminal, secured with an 8MM nut. A separate #12 gauge wire runs from the relay to the starter solenoid's 4MM stud, which triggers the solenoid. The relay's small terminal is labeled for connection to the key switch or a push button. A reader can learn the correct cable gauges (#4–2 gauge main cable, #12 gauge trigger wire), fastener sizes (4mm stud, 8mm nut), and overall wiring layout needed to install or retrofit a PMGR starter using the existing fender-mounted relay. No year, model, part numbers, or torque specifications are stated on the document itself.
