There are two posts on the starter solenoid when the starter is in position the top one is for the positive battery cable. The bottom one should have a very short cable that enters the starter casing. I just replaced the starter in my 98 Mazda Protege yesterday.
Starter solenoid.
Follow the positive battery cable down to the engine. It will connect to the starter.
red to positive, black to negative
Remove - battery cable Remove + battery cable from battery and starter solenoid Route new cable following original routing Connect to starter solenoid Connect to + battery terminal Connect - battery cable
Secure the starter by tightening the starter retaining bolts. Connect the cables on the front of the starter. Connect your positive cable to the battery.
You don't, you connect to the battery from the battery of another car. Use the positive cable to connect the two positive electrodes and the negative to connect the two negative electrodes.
To wire a starter for a go-kart, first, connect the battery's positive terminal to the starter's positive terminal using a suitable gauge wire. Then, connect the starter's negative terminal to the go-kart's frame or battery's negative terminal for grounding. Use a push-button switch or ignition switch to connect from the battery's positive terminal to the starter solenoid, allowing the starter to engage when the button is pressed. Finally, ensure all connections are secure and insulated to prevent short circuits.
The plus is Positive + and it connects to the Red cable which connects to the starter.
Positive to positive and negative to negative. The negative will be connect to the engine or chassis. The positive will be connected to the starter.
to find starter...start at positive post on battery, follow big cable to end of cable........at which pointwill connect to starter
The negative battery cable does not connect directly to the starter; instead, it typically connects to the vehicle's chassis or engine block, which serves as the grounding point. The starter is powered by the positive battery cable, which connects directly to the starter motor. The starter relies on a good ground connection provided by the negative cable to complete the electrical circuit and function properly.
Remove the lighter gauge wires from the solenoid, and connect full battery power (cable) directly to to the positive post on the starter motor.
