Below are two crops of the diagram to hopefully help you. Now what you are saying is that when you turn the IGN off, the engine stays running? The STARTER does not hang, correct?

Re: ignition lock
It can still be defective even if NOS, aftermarket or repro.

Re: ignition lock
Even though it's new,that doesn't necessarily mean that it's not defective.Most of the replacement electrical parts for sale today are very poor quality and are often bad right out of the box.The problem you're having is almost certainly a defective starter relay.

Re: ignition lock
56 yblock, now I'm confused...
What is continuing to run with the ignition key switch turned off? The engine? or the starter? |

Re: ignition lock
I would remove all the wires from the ign. terminal on the switch and check for the terminal on the switch to be hot with the key in the "off" position. If the terminal is hot, you have a switch problem. If not, you are getting back feed from somewhere that is powering your ignition. If there are other wires on the same terminal, check to see if any of those are hot with the ignition off.

Re: ignition lock
Changing parts looking for a problem isn't cost effective if you have a way to diagnose where the problem is. If you have a backfeed because of a wiring mistake, changing parts won't fix it. Take all wires off the ignition terminal and see if it has voltage on it.
Then check the two small terminals on the starter relay for voltage with the key off. Get back with the results and we can go from there. Last edited by 40cpe; 01-08-2018 at 11:34 AM. |

Re: ignition lock
Diagram #1. Starter solenoid wiring...
but there are a few exceptions based on where the battery, starter solenoid and starter are mounted in relation to each other. When I first looked under the hood of a '55/'57 T-Bird I noticed the 'Battery' and 'Starter' cables are connected to the opposite terminals. (diagram #2) Some other vehicles may be connected this way also. It makes no difference in the operation of the solenoid. The 'S' and 'I' wires however, must be connected correctly. Connecting battery or ignition switch power to the 'S' terminal should energize the solenoid with a quick solid click, and it should release the same way. When energized the solenoid should supply 12 volts on the Starter and Ignition terminals. When not energized the solenoid will only have power on the 'Battery' terminal. just FYI: Original 6 volt positive ground '55 Fords use a different style starter solenoid with only 3 terminals. (image #3) . Last edited by dmsfrr; 01-08-2018 at 11:27 PM. Reason: Edit ~ 6v Fords were Positive, not Negative ground |

MY NEWLY LEARNED FACTOID OF THE DAY! I never realized that. The BAT on a FORD is on the PASS side and the BIRD BAT is on the driver's side so the BAT/STARTER CABLES can be used on either terminal.... Quote:
The FORD PN for a 6V Solenoid is B5A 11450-A and a 12V Solenoid is B6A 11450-A if looking for NOS. THANX FOR THE TUTORIAL!

But I must have had my wife's glasses on while typing... The oem 6v Fords were Positive ground, not negative ground. (6 volt starter solenoid) Not sure, I haven't seen enough of them. . Last edited by dmsfrr; 01-08-2018 at 11:15 PM. |

The wire on the 'S' terminal is usually Red with a blue stripe. The wire on the 'I' terminal will be dark Brown, or maybe black. . Last edited by dmsfrr; 01-14-2018 at 12:20 AM. |

Re: ignition lock
Why don't you just remove the ignition wire from the switch and reconnect the battery? If the oil/gen light come on it isn't the switch causing your problem. .

Re: ignition lock
I agree it's most likely the ignition switch. After the other wires are labeled and removed from the switch and only the yellow Battery wire temporarily connected... you can hook a test light one at a time to each terminal to confirm that they either do or don't operate correctly... Accessory, Run/ignition and Start.
