Starter wiring question
Hi all,
Replacing my starter today and realized the starter wiring from the replacement is opposite of what came off the car. Is the replacement incorrect?
New Starter (Excel Automotive from Rockauto)
Old Starter (OEM(?)/Mitsubishi)
Thanks!!

I don't think it makes to much difference what side it's on as it's just a coil u should be able to switch it over
I've never done this but would try it and if it goes bang it wasn't me lol

Hey, Makes a BIG difference... +12volts (from Battery) and +12volts (from ignition switch) cannot be on same pole. So, check continuity (male-spade connector to each large stud). The large starter wire will be connected to the large-stud that DOES have continuity with the small male-spade connector. Battery +12v cable connects to the other stud.

When you turn ignition switch to "start" +12v goes directly to ground (starter housing) via solenoid coil resistance. Then, solenoid/relay closes & battery cable +12 is connected to starter motor.
Refer to: Wiring Manual (Starting System Wiring Diagram sect A-1), nice drawing of complete circuit.
