CC,

You are correct about if the relay has power going in it should have it going out. But it has to operate first to cut the battery power through to the starter. That is what the two small winding leads are for. When you turn the ignition switch to the start position, it will put power through the winding and operate the relay, thus putting power to the starter. You can take a remote starter button and go from battery to the S terminal on the Ford solenoid and when you press the button it will operate the relay and turn the motor over. That will tell you if the relay is good. Make sure the car is out of gear unless you have a lockout switch. I use my remote starter button all the time for messing around under the hood. I know mine isn't a Lucus but if it would help I will take a picture of it and post it so you can see what I am trying to say.
