If you are talking about the fuel shutoff solenoid then there are two wires
There's two wires to connect... just put them where they belong. Positive to the solenoid, negative to the starter body.
To connect the wires on a 1986 Ford F150 solenoid, start by removing the negative battery cable, then connect the wire from the ignition switch to the "S" terminal on the solenoid. Next, connect the wire from the starter to the "I" terminal on the solenoid. Finally, reconnect the negative battery cable. Be sure to consult a wiring diagram specific to your vehicle for accurate connections.
Remove the lighter gauge wires from the solenoid, and connect full battery power (cable) directly to to the positive post on the starter motor.
To connect wires to a starter solenoid combination, first ensure the vehicle is off and the battery is disconnected for safety. Attach the battery positive cable to the terminal labeled "B" or "Battery." Next, connect the starter motor wire to the terminal marked "S" or "Starter." Finally, if applicable, connect any additional wires, such as ignition or relay wires, according to your vehicle's wiring diagram, and then reconnect the battery.
Looking at the starter from over the right front fender, connect one wire to the big, copper post in the middle of the solenoid, connect the other wire to the small post closest to the block.
check fuses. check bulbs. check wires. If not any of those, good luck.
a little more clarification is needed. which wires are you talking about? the ones on the engine or on the body/frame.
Most likely it is located within the transmission pan. It will have a couple wires running to a cylinder it is the one without the plastic cover at the top where the wires connect.
if it is the same size. 3.1 for 3.1 or 2.2 for 2.2 go ahed and do it. you may need to switch intake or exhaust manifolds so all the wires and such line up.
The starter needs a large wire from the battery and a wire from the starter switch. These are connected to the solenoid that is attached to the starter.
There should be one female plug-in and one separate hot wire that is hot anytime the battery is hooked up.
