Which wires go were on a 1986 aerostar starting solenoid that is on the drivers side inner fender well?

Answer 1

battery cable and all fusible link wires go on the side of starter solenoid that is marked

( B ) , and yellow wire and starter wire go on the side that is marked with an ( S ) , Ignition switch is the one that plugs in on the top of the solenoid that is marked with an ( I )

Other than that there is a ground wire that grounds separately to the side wall that is separate from the whole solenoid.

older models seemed to be very basic. some of them, had all wires on the battery

side/ ( EXCEPT ) for the starter wire ( which by the way is the small red wire that runs next to the battery wire of which the battery wire is the big red wire and the starter wire is the small one. Always make sure that the battery wire goes to ( B )side and the starter wire goes to the ( S ) side. Because ,,,,, if they are put on in the reverse order of this, then you will have reversed the polarity and it will start, but will also fry the starter. If anyone else has anything further to add to this, or sees anything whatsoever wrong with this post, then feel free to add it . have to change part of answer. I posted the yellow wire as being on side with starter wire on ( S ) side of solenoid...

Correction::

The yellow goes on the same side as all the fusible link wires and goes on the ( B ) side. The only wire that will be on the ( S ) side,, will be the starter wire ( which is the smaller of the 2 red wires )

plain and simply put also, the ( B ) on the ( B ) side of starter solenoid, stands for

( Battery

and the ( S ) on the ( S ) side of the starter solenoid stands for ( Starter )

and the upper wire that is marked with ( I ) stands for Ignition ( ( which goes to the key switch ))

the lower post of the Solenoid is not usually used on this model. But it is for the ( Coil ) if it is applicable, and it is not in this case , because would '''normally'''' be electronic ignition on newer vehicles.
