Is there a separate Starter Relay, or does the Solenoid serve that purpose?
Hello All.
I will be replacing the starter solenoid tomorrow (actually my mechanic will do the work, I'll just supervise). In checking the FSM electrical schematic and chapter verbiage, I don't see anything that looks like (or is referred to as) a starter Relay. It seems the Starter Solenoid serves the function and there's no separate relay. Right or Wrong?
If wrong, where is it?
Thanks
Norm

Norm, That is great news. The solenoid replacement is one of the rare things on these GM cars they actually made pretty easy to replace .. at least once the starter is removed. Just think if it was that easy to replace the water pump!

Forgot to mention: Jason: The Duralast Solenoid replacement you sold me fit perfectly and the whole process of changing it took about the same time it takes to read this post.
Thanks!

Job done! Starting function returned to a condition of alacrity. ONE NOTE: Because I had purchased and installed a complete custom fabricated exhaust system, the crossover pipe was made a little short, which resulted in our needing to detach the left and right intermediate pipes from the manifold and pull them down a bit in order to remove the (original) starter. The actual swapping out of the Solenoid was as represented: easy.

Starter Solenoid serves the function. The large battery cable connects to solenoid switch as does the blue "switched" wire from the ignition switch. For a full description of the 63/64 Cadillac Starting System Basics I just posted a write-up I had meant to add to the Help Page way back.

Dash removal

Hello everyone,
On a 63 CDV, if a guy wanted to remove the entire dash to get all the metal painted, and do some other things behind there, how would he go about doing that? I checked here and the shop manual, but can't find a complete guide.
As always, and help or direction is appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for letting me join the club. Picked up this ‘64 Coupe Deville a few months ago out of Beverly MA, the car has few stickers on it from various Cadillac clubs, didn’t know if anyone might recognize it from it’s “Glory days.” Everything seems pretty healthy except for the body and some very Mickey Mouse repairs, was wondering if anyone had any leads on…
