There is a huge amount of initial current to the latch of the solenoid (over 40A I think). Short-lived, but puts a real stress on the system for an instant.
Franny,

I seem to recall you wrote an article w/ photos on your starter relay installation. Was that published in the Registry magazine? If so, which issue? Or elsewhere?

PS Now I seem to recall a video, maybe on YouTube? I think I stumbled on it a year or so ago.

PPS Bingo!
