Putting things back together and this little cable is giving me fits!! It has 2 ring terminals that split off along the length of the wire with the little tiny ring terminal on the end for the starter solenoid. I cant find any place to attach the 2 other termails and it looks like the first one in line has two separate wires going to it and one of mine has broken off. Can someone help me out? TIA -Jeff

There should be two eyelets on the end of the loom that go to the starter. 1 large main feed + and a second smaller for the signal. Futher back the loom are some more eyelets. They are block grounds.

i know they are grounds but I cant remember where they go to, and im not sure if that 1st wire is missing a terminal or not.... I really need a pic or someone to trace the wire!

pics wont help its to hard to see:(

grounds go on the front of the block pass side and then just like JB said

there is a wire that comes from the alternator that needs to be connected to the starter.....Since mine is been modified i cant really help you much

Sorry

there are 2 grounds coming off the wire, about 18" from each other, and the first looks like it has 2 wires going onto the same terminal, but mine has broken off and i dont know if I am missing a terminal on that wire or if it was soldered to the other one? the first terminal is right around the FICM and I dont see anyplace to put it??

I would redo the ring terminal

no, thats a different wire, I think it comes out of the "little red box"

so that ring terminal should have both wires connected to it right?

I got lucky! One of my customers came in and he has an 03, he let me pop the hood and I found it, I was trying to run it the total wrong direction, I know where it is supposed to go now so hopefully there wont be any other issues! ...... knock on wood! -Jeff
