Hi Mariano,

I just put my multimeter on two old Ford starter solenoids. There was no continuity between the cases and the starter button terminals which indicates to me they are ground activated.

I also checked the continuity between the battery terminal (negative) on the solenoid and the starter button terminal and there was continuity there. This is the same at shown in the ground activated diagram.

There is no voltage at the start button. Only when it is pushed (earthed) does current flow from it, (positive) to the battery side of the solenoid, (negative)

Cheers,
