hello was wondering if any one could tell me how many wires go to the starter on my 01 venture for been awhile sence unhook i had to swap the transaxle and now stuck with this i have 2 hot wires i know for shure and like 3 other wires not including the wire that goes on little stud they seem to look like negative wires but unshur when try to start soon as i turn the key sounds like evrything trying to run meaning all elecric motors any help would be great

 

The B-terminal on the starter gets the thick cable directly from the battery positive terminal. The S-terminal gets the wire from the CRANK relay. The starter is grounded through its housing which means there should be a thick cable that grounds the engine block to the battery negative terminal.

 

purple wire or red wire with small tiny ring end on it goes to S solenoid terminal

all the other wires and positive cable with large ring end all go to larger stud on solenoiod

smaller wires to it are fusable links and feed various circuits and items in the truck

ground wires and cable go to a bellhousing bolt stud
