Haha no worries buddy. Thanks for the help! Do #1 and #3 both connect to the same terminal on the starter?

I would need a better pic of where #1& #3 come from on the remote Solenoid ...

The other way to know what that wire does ..hook up a Volt meter to it and have some one turn on key, turn to start pos, and such forth .. I "Think" #1 & #3 go to starter .. but I need more pics to get my bearings .. I dont think mine and yours look the same from what I CAN see ...

When you can .. post a few more pics .. gald to help oout if I can ... :tu:..:c:

Thank you. I already took off the starter so Im not even sure where they connected off the top of my head. I could point out which one the relay connected to, but like I said #3 wasnt connect to the starter at all. It was just cut off previously and dangling there with no end on it.

Huh .... Strange ... Do keep us posted though ... :pca1:

I just removed the fried wire coming from the relay going down the the starter. Then I soldered a new end on the 00 that didnt have one on it and connected that to the main power on the starter. Now she fires up like a champ every time. I think the dude before me just had no clue what he was doing and thought he needed that wire coming down.

Yeah some people just have no clue .. and should never work on thier own vehicles .. :tu:

I had a belt throw and take out the wire from the relay to the starter, it was 12 or 14 gauge, I replaced the relay wire with 10guage, is that big enough? That should be low current to just trip the solenoid on the actual starter, right?

yeah the trigger wire is a negitive ground as i recall right ... or its just a low volt trigger .. so manny set-up's i can keep them straight ... :s:
