i just installed my new mini starter from a 93 on my 89. i think i have it hooked up right. i ran 2 new wires....a 4ga to replace the OEM wire and a 12ga to run the extra wire it takes to make the new starter work. i ran the 4ga from the post furthest from the battery on the firewall solenoid to the large post on the new solenoid on the starter. i ran the 12ga wire from the post closest to the battery on the firewall solenoid to the small post on the solenoid on the starter. when i try to turn it over...all i can hear is the firewall solenoid clicking.....any ideas on how to fix this headache???? thanks!
they tight?...run a jumper wire to the hot side then go from there...
should i jump thefirewall solenoid or the one on the new starter? also...does it sound like it is hooked up right? i went off the diagram, but it doesn't give the greatest explainination on where the 4ga wire goes..
IM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. ON MINE, BUT I CAN ONLY SEE ONE WIRE GOING FROM THE STARTER TO THE POST NEXT TO THE STARTER RELAY. AND WHEN I TURN THE KEY ON. ALL THE GAUGES LIGHT UP, BUT ITS NOT TURNING OVER?
can you take a picture of the new starter's solenoid? should have 2 large posts, and 1 small terminal.
1 of the large posts might have its own ground strap on it.
