44MT ™ STARTERS CAN REPLACE THE VARIOUS STARTERS IN THE MARKET BY CONNECTING TO ONLY THREE (3)
TERMINALS [SOLENOID POSITIVE (+) BATTERY TERMINAL - SOLENOID SWITCH TERMINAL - COMMUTATER END (CE)
INSULATED/GROUND
(-) TERMINAL]. NOTE ! THIS STARTER MAY ALSO BE VERY DIFFERENT IN SIZE AND APPEARANCE
THAN THE ONE BEING REPLACED.
OLD STARTER 44MT STARTER SOLENOIDS ALL HAVE AN INTERNAL MAGNETIC SWITCH AND ARE
PRE-WIRED WITH OVER CRANK PROTECTION (OCP)
A Magnetic switch (relay) not attached and may or may not have OCP*
B Magnetic Switch (Relay) attached and may or may not have OCP*
* See electrical connections, page one (1) if it has OCP. The vehicle’s OCP harness is not used; however, it is necessary to close the
vehicle ground circuit for the vehicle to operate. Install the grounding plug, included in the shipping carton, into vehicle’s
OCP connector to close the circuit. Secure the OCP connector and grounding plug to prevent chafing and separation due to
vibration.
A Starter being replaced doesn’t have an attached magnetic switch (relay). It may or may not have OCP*
1. Connect lead from the solenoid switch terminal to 44MT solenoid switch terminal. Torque the nut to 2.0 - 2.5 Nm (18 -22 lb in).
2. Connect cables from old starter solenoid battery (+) terminal to the 44MT solenoid battery (+) terminal. Torque the terminal nut to
24.5 - 27.5 Nm (18 - 20 lb ft).
3. Connect ground (-) cable to insulated/ground terminal on the 44MT and torque nut assembly to 24.5 - 27.5 Nm (18 - 20 lb ft).
Starters with this terminal will not function without being connected to ground.
4. If there was not a ground cable to the old starter (grounded), a cable must be added to ground the 44MT. It should be the same
size as the battery cable to the solenoid.
B Starter being replaced has an attached magnetic switch (relay). It may or may not have OCP*
1. Connect lead from the starter magnetic switch (relay) terminal to 44MT solenoid switch terminal. Torque the nut to 2.0 - 2.5 Nm
(18 - 22 lb in).
2. Connect cables from old starter solenoid battery (+) terminal to the 44MT solenoid battery (+) terminal. Torque the terminal nut to
24.5 - 27.5 Nm (18 - 20 lb ft).
3. Connect ground (-) cable to insulated/ground terminal on the 44MT and torque nut assembly to 24.5 - 27.5 Nm (18 - 20 lb ft).
Starters with this terminal will not function without being connected to ground.
4. If there was not a ground cable to the old starter (grounded), a cable must be added to ground the 44MT. It should be the same
size as the battery cable to the solenoid.
