scroll to almost the bottom of the page to see a pic with a red box, that would be your black circle wire in your pic.

ok all the blots are to fat to fit the - wire in that i want to know is what does that have to connect to jsut any blot or wut?

jgarza77

basically needs to be bolted to the engine block, and closest to the starter possible, anyway you can make the whole on that end bigger? have you made sure you are not using the + wire, cuz that one is a smaller diameter hole than the ground?

ok i guess i was using the wrong one ok so now the big one is bloted up to the starter and trany blot (the long one) and the othe one is hooked up to the left blot on the starter and it doesnt want to try and trun over like i try to crank it but it doesnt even try to make a sound are u sure i dont have to hook up the green circle wire any were

alright work with me here...........Im about to ask or say some dumb stuff but if you follow along step by step you should be able to start up your ride. check it out.



If your battery is out of the car as shown in pic, and you are trying to crank car with a battery charger alone, the clamps from the charger straight to the wires on the car will not work.



Is your other accessories working, such as lights, horn, wipers, radio etc.......???

Make sure battery is fully charged and place it in engine bay on your battery tray. ( usual spot it should be)

Now grab one of your battery cable ends and physically follow it down to the other end. If the wire stops at a bolt to the frame or strut housing of the car and then proceeds, this would be your ground wire that needs to be bolted to your block (green circle in your pic) Keep in mind that when I say battery cable Im talking about the thick black cables with battery terminals on.

Majority of the time the + cable has a thick cable and a thin cable also, but we wont get into that.



Back to basics...........(except for most Fords)

You will have the negative wire from your battery to the frame, and then engine block and then your positive wire straight to your starter. The male/female connector on the solenoid is the wire that sends the signal from your ignition switch to engage the starter. The bolt on the left on the solenoid should have constant current from the battery, the one on the right is the one that sends current to the internals of the starter if/and only if the male/female connector gets current fromt the ignition switch. The solenoid works more or less like a bigger version of a relay switch.

Try this:

blue arrow =male/female connector

red arrow= + (positive/hot wire) from battery

black arrow= you leave alone, put nut back on it if it has been removed

greenish arrow= ground wire ( - from battery )
