Got a 6V, 3 post Ford relay from ebay for my "74 2.0L Wired it up per the many threads on the subject on this and other boards.

My understanding of its operation is that 1 large post always has 12V (from battery) and the other 2 posts (small "S" and the other large one back to the starter) have 12V when the key is ON. Is this correct??

I'm not getting 12V at the large post that runs back to the starter. I'm thinking the Ford relay is defective.

Any thoughts from Ford relay users??
