Security Relay

Hi guys,

Ive had a no start 1 click issue for 6 months. Replaced ignition switch, clutch switch, upgraded starter to Bonzai 2kw, added the 50 amp relay and the bypass relay. Still won't start, just 1 click and I have full power to everything . A. Bonzai team member suggested its a security relay. Can anybody provide me some guidance on where to purchase and location on FD? My relay panel doesn't mention security relay, so I'm asumming it doubles as something else. Additionally I have an old Lo Jack system installed that needs to be pulled out. Does anyone think that could be part of the problem? I wanted to tow to shop and just have it fixed but all shops are too busy. Ive been working on Ford and Chevy piston motors for many years but was intimidated when I first saw this engine. Im much more comfortable doing my own work as I have the Shop manual with torque specs. Im in Southern Ca, Im desperate to get her on the road again. Any information about relays and ill replace em all, just want to make sure im buying from correct vendor. I didn't see anything about security relay in manual but maybe I missed it. Thanks for any help. Hopefully I posted in the right spot😬

Yes. If that doesn't fix it, check your clutch switch

Kind of cool that this part is available, would make for a clean mod.

In my case the clutch safety switch was the cause of occasional click-click-start. I bypassed it and no problem since.
