Pos & neg posts are not the same size on post type. You can buy terminals separately at ato parts store and still salvage the cable itself if need be.
Solenoid on inner fender? + battery cable to large terminal Cable from starter to other large terminal Trigger wire to either small terminal
Should be located on inner fender--follow + battery cable Battery + connects to 1 large terminal Starter cable connects to other large terminal Trigger wire connects to smaller terminal (if you have 2 disregard 1)
Battery + to large terminal Starter cable to other large terminal Trigger wire to either small terminal
A "battery disconnect" is nothing more than a special SWITCH designed and manufactured to be able to carry very large [heavy] electrical current. The one with which I'm familiar mounts on the positive battery terminal after the cable has been removed, and then the cable connector is attached to the output terminal of the disconnect switch. This switch allows one to totally and completely "kill" the battery voltage to the auto circuits, without having to use a wrench to loosen a battery terminal clamp and manually "wrestle" it from the terminal.
The fusible links are all on the large terminal on the starter - The one the battery cable hooks to.
I think the negative terminal is under the fuse box to the left; you can barely get to it. However to jump from or to the Silhouette, you don't need the negative terminal. To jump the Silhouette, just attach the negative cable to metal, preferably of the engine block. To jump from the Silhouette, attach the negative cable to the large bolt about 10 inches to the right of the battery.
Battery + cable should be connected to large terminal on solenoid Starter cable should be connected to other side of solenoid (if so equipped) Trigger wire should be connected to smaller terminal (if 2 on replacment part disregard 2nd)
Assuming neither battery is used to start the engine, simply connect the positive (+) terminal of the first battery to the positive terminal of the second battery. Then connect the negative (-) terminal of the first battery to the negative terminal of the second battery. Connect the load circuit to the positive and negative terminals of one of the batteries as usual. You may want to charge the batteries separately before making the connection, since connecting a charged battery to a discharged battery will result in a very large current flowing from the charged battery to the discharged battery, possibly damaging the wiring or either battery.
To wire the starter solenoid on a Chevy G20 van, first disconnect the battery to ensure safety. Connect the positive battery cable to the large terminal on the solenoid, then attach the starter wire to the other large terminal. For the small terminal, connect the ignition wire that activates the solenoid when the key is turned to the start position. Finally, double-check all connections before reconnecting the battery and testing the system.
# Disconnect negative battery cable # Raise truck and support it # Disconnect the large cable from the terminal on the starter # Remove 4 bolts or nuts securing the starter and remove the starter from engine
The fusible links on my '89 Z24 are located at the starter solenoid where the end of the positive battery cable attaches to the large terminal. There may be a fusible link near the positive battery cable in the 10 gauge wire (not the heavy gauge one). Good luck.
Battery to a large terminal Starter to other large terminal Trigger wire to small terminal (if you have an extra small terminal on new relay disregard)
