I won't to check spark on my plug wires at the plug, I don't have partner to help me, so I want to use a remote starter switch for the driver side wires, passenger side I can use button on solenoid, where can I connect for the driver side. I tired using terminals on solenoid("S" and Bat side") didn't work for me.

leazer Not knowing exactly what year you are referring to. if you ground the little terminal by using a jumper wire on the solenoid, to ground, the engine starter should turn over, it the same as when you use the starter button on the dash board, from 1937 to 1950 FORDS hope this helps 37Ragtopman

To check the spark you need to use the regular ignition switch turned on and connect a remote starter switch from the terminal on the starter itself on one wire and ground on the other wire. These kinds of switches are very cheap and insulated to avoid stray sparks. Be sure the car is in neutral. Avoid making open connections near the battery which is above the starter on some Fords as hydrogen venting from charging could explode! There does not appear to be any electrical interlocks that would require 12 volts and the red is for positive and the black for negative no matter what the voltage of the battery. On an old Ford then the red is for ground and the black is for the starter post. Simply connecting it across the solenoid on the firewall also works to activate the starter but does not give a spark because the ignition is not included.
