I think that's a pretty silly generalized conclusion for anyone to make--it could very well be the starter solenoid (relay) however it could just as possibly be any of a number of other issues--bad brushes or shorted amature in the starter, poor connection(s) anywhere in the starter low or high current power or ground, a weak cell in the battery, or a small gnome with indigestion living in the crankcase.

iT appears to be just a plain ol' SPST-NO (Single Pole Single Throw Normally Open) relay. The only issue I see is that the typical 4-pin "ice-cub e" automotive relay has male spade connectors same ass the OEM "socket" on your beast--but four short wires with female terminal at each end would remedy that. A really good 90A SPST relay by NTE is $8 or so.

I agree with Travis. "Hybrid" to me means "two" primary systems to fail--not just one. If electric vehicles made sense Baker Electric would not have failed in 1916 The only fundamental difference between a Baker and a Telsa is battery technology.

The one you have is used... What does it look like--is it a plan ol' 4-pin DIN type cube relay, like this? Does it have a connection diagram printed on it? If so let us see it and we can perhaps offer alternatives.

The drug companies weigh the possible deaths lawsuit cost to the massive profit from 20 yrs of drug sales.. guess which one wins? Much like Massimo and their WARRENTY denials .. The profit from unsuspecting buyers vs the lost sales of repeat customers ..and we all know "theres a sucker born every minute"
