All Contours, Mystiques and newer Cougs use C52 for the starter relay. The physical location in the BJB was changed in 5/3/99, (5/24 for the Cougar), but the circuit remained the same, (according to the wiring diagrams), regardless of engine/trans configuration.
Thanks. Yes, terminology is important and I'm not surprised that my problem is probably the hardest of the two to remedy. Why should anything I have to do be easy?There is only one starter relay and it's is in the BJB.
The piece that is part of the starter is the starter solenoid, (which is what sounds more likely to be your problem). You often will still get the *click* noise from a bad solenoid, or at the very least, hear the relay click. However, if the relay is bad, you won't hear anything buy your keys jingling.
