Take the pigtail/connector off the original and splice it on to the new one.

BUT, why are you doing this?
I doubt if your starter relay is defective. Pls see my signature. In the 6 years I've ben with Yotatech, I have never heard of a starter relay going bad on our trucks except for this

Are you aware of this? https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f199...l#post52297396

 

 

Are you having the issue now? Describe your symptoms in detail and be EXACT; we are not in front of your engine compartment. Exactly what do you see, hear, feel, and where.
Pls see my signature.

You have been told wrong.
BUT starter relay was wired wrong AT THE FACTORY. If you don't fix it then your ignition switch may go bad.
The easiest and least expensive thing to do is read this:

Fix your issue for $11.

 

To be accurate, please post clear picture of wires going to your starter relay. Show both harness side and relay side.
Make sure you show or note EXACT wire color going to each connector pin.

 

Ok I appreciate your help, Ill get a better description on what happened, I was with a friend during this and he'll be able to give me better details. Ill get the photos you asked for too later today where I can get better light.

 

Just get enough spade connectors of the correct gender

Figure out if this is the problem if it is then do a somewhat better job of splicing and weather proofing

 

I found another female starter relay today, Thank God, so Ill test that one, if it doesnt work out Ill try the wiring solution.

 

Cool.
Regardless of whether that relay works or not, you have to verify that is wired correctly. 100% of the 22RE from 1986 to 1989 that I have seen on this forum and at t4R.org had starter relay wired wrong at the factory.

 

 

That reminds me, I need to do Rad's relay mod to my 84 which has no relay. It can go next to the fuel pump relay I recently added.
