I just did a motor swap and my brilliant buddy decided not to mark wires when taking things apart, it wasn't hard getting it all back together just match plugs and snap, but there where two wires in the front of the motor that i am having trouble with they both look like they would reach to the ground bolt on the block so thats where we hooked them up, WELL the one had power shorting something out. After testing the wires with a volt meter the double black is the one with power but only when the ign is turned on. just to see what would turn on if touching the wire to power the blower motor relay kicks in and out but i have no clue where the hell it goes
PLEASE HELP (here is a pic i cant figure out how to post it)

You didn't say, but the pic look much like my 2.2, 96 and 97.

The 4 wire bundle to ground.
1 Black from ignition
1 tan, 1 tan/white and 1 black/white from PCM
And should bundle together with main battery ground .

As for the double black - on mine I have a double wire that looks similar to that that connects to the starter main power in. It bolts together with the main batter positive on the starter. However, mine are not both black, but then there have been several wirinbg repairs to this car.

Check your starter for this double wire. The wires I am referring to have to do with the generator circuit.

One thing I have also learned for many engine replacements - no matter how good you think you memory is, no matter how fast you think you will get to put it all back together - mark everything. A box of zip lock baggies, a roll of 1 inch masking tape and a pen. A few extra minutes taking it apart, can save hours of agrivation putting it together and trying to figure out why something doen't work.

So the double black has power ON when the ignition is ON.

Try this:-

With engine stopped and ignition OFF--standard statement


Disconnect the Alternator plug

Identify Pin S (The Voltage sensing connection) in the plug.

Connect the Voltmeter to Pin S (Positive) and Ground

Switch Ignition On and Check that Pin S has 12 volts to it with the ignition On

If it does this is the double wire that should be on the Starter solenoid + ve terminal(The large one not directly connected to the starter) as Mike said.

The other wire (part of the double) feeds the High Blower relay. Unless the Mode selector switch (marked OFF,MAX,VENT, BI-LEV etc) is OFF the blower should always run at some speed. Turn the Mode selector OFF and apply power as you have already done[ just to see what would turn on if touching the wire to power the blower motor relay kicks in and out] the blower motor relay should NOT operate----this is just another check to confirm this wire.

Then, of course, reconnect everything


Hope this helps
