The post closest to the front of the car is where your starter cable connects, the little red and blue wire with the 90 degree boot goes to the small top terminal and the battery and all the fusible links connect to the post closest to the firewall.


Make sense?

The 2 little ones don't matter. A relay will engage regardless of polarity.

The other 2 don't really matter either. All it's doing is closing a path from your battery to your starter.

What you do need to have proper is the "stack of rings" on the one terminal. You need to place all of them on the battery side and the starter wire all by itself on the other side.

This does NOT apply to a 93.

sorry i cant tell you where the wires go but some advice for next time follow these directions: 1. take the old solenoid off the wall, leave on all wires. 2. put the new solenoid on the wall. 3. take off 1 wire at a time and connect it to the new solenoid in the same spot as the old one.
No need for marking.

Battery doesn't have enough juice or terminals arent on well enough?

Make sure all the ring terminals are flat and flush against each other.

ok now i checked all the wires and terminals and some were loose but tight now and now i try to start it and it just turning over not starting... the fuel pump is working and pushing fuel but its acting like it not getting a spark
