wires connected to the starter?!?!?!?!
Friday, June 20, 2008 2:29 PM
Alright I finally got my car all back together. I don't remember which wires hook to the starter. That is the last thing I have left to put hook up. I think I have it figured out but I just want to check with someone that can go and look at theres. Thanks in advance!

alright found another post about it. I have 2 other wires. with flat copper plates I'm guessing ground just want to verify before grounding. one of the connectors has 4 wires on it and the other I think is just a single

Not the greatest pic. the best I could do cause my digital camera is being a piece of @!#$. one of the wires is in the same harness as the purple wire or they both are possible here is the pic

Looks like you've got the GM recall relay thingy installed on that... it took the original single small purple wire, which used to go to the single small terminal on the starter solenoid, and went off to a relay which should be mounted on the back of the rad support.

There should be a yellow butt connector off that wire (at the starter) which is probably purple to purple... that is the original wire going off to the relay. Then there's a new single wire (can't remember which color, sorry maybe purple?) with a small ring connector... that should go to the smaller terminal on the starter, by itself.

The larger ring connector (red wire?) goes to the battery side of the starter with the wires from the alternator and the battery. The other large terminal (usually the bottom) of the starter solenoid is JUST the starter wire... nothing else goes with it. There should be a black wire with a larger ring connector too... That goes to a ground on the block.

Thanks. that black wire might be what was holding me up. I will try and get a better pic and description of the wires

alright here is the wire descriptions

Purple is pretty straight forward

There is a small red wire with small ring connector kinda obvious there to that connects to the small post on the starter

Then there is a small red to gray wire with a larger ring connector it is coming off the same relay as the small red and purple wire

Then small black wire with small ring connector out of the same relay for the gm recall

Then out of a separate wire harness is a flat ring connector it goes black with white strip, tan with white strip, then tan, and the black. Where would this wire connect.

Thanks again!
