How do you test the relay box the starter trigger conects to under the hood by the battery

Oddly enough, I just got done moving my power wires from my battery to that relay box literally 10 minutes ago. I would assume that if you want to test each relay/fuse location, you'll need a circuit tester/light. Hook it up to the negative terminal or a ground somewhere and touch all the points in there to see if it's getting power. Hope that answers what you're looking for.

This one from Walmart should work just fine. Don't go spending $80 on a Snap-On one from their tool truck like I did before I knew I could get one for 10% of that price at Walmart ;)
