RE: red wire versus the purple wire
the purple wire is 24V. it feeds the starter solenoid.
the red wire simply provides the 12v to allow the magnetic coil inside the relay to be energized, thus completing the 24v circuit and sending power to the starter solenoid.
RE: The truck is running again!
the purple is the wire going from the relay to the starter, that is the wire you need to switch to be able to save the starter. Must be a heavy duty switch, due to the current that goes through the circuit while the starter is engaged.
