follow the wires that come off the positive battery terminal the starter has two bolts to take off then the starter comes off then unhook the power wires from starter
There should be two on the large terminal and one on the small terminal I believe the small terminal is labeled S
There are two terminals on the starter, the main power terminal and the solenoid terminal. Sometimes the nuts on these terminals will vibrate loose over time and the wires from the two terminals will touch. This is what normally causes this condition.
"97 Chevy cavalier" radio diagram which wires go where
Disconnect Battery - Terminal Lift and safely secure vehicle for access Remove mounting bolts Drop starter to access wires and remove Manuver to drop out of housing
The purple wire would attach to the terminal marked "S". this terminal would be the one closer to the engine block. The yellow wire would attach to the terminal marked "R". This terminal would be the one further from the block.
The diagram.
Battery connect to large terminal Starter connect to other large terminal Trigger wire (smaller) connects to small terminal If you have an extra small terminal disregard
If no one has clipped the ends on the wire, the little ones have different size holes in them and will only go on the right terminals. I believe Chevy only uses the small terminal closest to the motor.
disconnect cables at battery,then remove wires from starter,then take out 3 mounting bolts that hold starter in,sometimes you can remove wires when starter is out, if they are long enough.
Disconnect the negativebattery terminal, starter is accessible from under the car passenger side, it bolts into the transmission with 3 bolts. Disconnect the wires from the starter, remove the bolts and reinstall new starter, reconnect wires.
disconnect battery. Diconnect wires from starter. Unbolt starter and pull it out. Simple.
