Negative - A? Goes to the bolt to the left of #1 (put the bolt in, then put the cable under the starter and bolt).

C goes under the slave cylinder on top of the tranny (put it under the bolt, slave on top of that, then bolt it down).

D - I can't tell, but I think it's part of C? If it is, then it plugs in by the slave cylinder. It's really hard for me to see the D.

You're right on # 3.


I hooked these up today, at least that's where mine were hooked up before I took them off (afair). lol...

If I'm wrong, somebody please correct me.

ok ok.

your first picture, you have it backwards.wire connected to post 2 should be on post two.


b from seccond pic goes to starter post number 2.

the wire you believe that goes to 3, goes to 3.

A in the 2nd pic goes to the chassis of the starter. use the long *** bolt with the nut, and connect it to that.

B (positive) goes to #2? Good thing this was asked. I put (positive) on #1.

I didn't try to start mine yet though, so I guess I found out before I found out. Haha.

sorry for the misinformation,

here you go.





c connects to c

a connects to a

B on the harness bolts to the starter body, one of two bolts you use to bolt it to the transmission. on the starter, just throw a nut on there and your done.

B wire DOES NOT connect to B on the starter.

ok wait. so "C" in my first post points to this diode black box thing, that goes to the long *** bolt on topside.

and "B" FROM SIRCYGNUS which is the negative wire (Black and yellow) ALSO bolts to the starter VIA the Short bolt on the bottom that screws into the tranny?

In your first pic, the item labeled "C" is a condensor and has nothing to do with the starter on any level. It is found connected to your slave cylinder from the factory.

Oh I know that it has nothing to do with the starter. I took my slave cylinder off and saw that the wire wasn't connected to the black box. I am just trying to figure out what that ground effects and how to hook it back up.

It really isn't necessary for the condenser to be wired up as many members have their's just dangling. What you don't want to do though is to take the lone Black wire and ground it for that will eventually damage the gauge so just tape it off so it doesn't accidentally ground out.
