Going into red capped portion there are a total of five wires, with two green/stripped wires going into the same port. total four ports under red section and 30 amp fuse. There are also two heavy duty thick wires that go to the black portion. One in and one out. this thick wire comes straight from the battery 7 inches or so of wire. when I disconnect this(starter relay) to bring to auto parts store the clock went blank. The(starter relay) should arrive today in the mail and I picked up heat shrink and connectors. might not have time to fiddle with it today.

The manual labels the parts as the starter relay switch (black) and the red as relay switch connector. got the starter relay switch from amazon, less than $8.00,says will arrive Monday, tougher time with relay switch connector and speedy deliver, will check out auto parts store I suppose.

I checked manual. it said listen for click at starter relay when key turned to start. No click for me, further inspection appears to show some melting, first tried to remove the red relay switch connector and couldn't, I think some corrosion or melting sorta welded the plastic together, you can see the plastic broke apart trying to separate. now the search for replacement parts. think I should need the red portion and the little black box it plugs into. any suggestions on my quest for parts. thanks for advice, you got me moving forward.

the fuses that are right behind battery location all seem to be fine.
