Re: 88 thunderbird turbo coupe starter relay

Welcome to the forum gereeve. Are you trying to jump start the car because the battery in the car is dead? Where are you connecting the jumper cables? Do you have a multi-meter to test the electrical system? Remove the ignition switch lead from the relay and connect the battery again. If the engine turns over then you have a bad relay.
