Hey folks, was wondering if I can get a little help? Anyone have a picture of the solenoid wiring.  I have the download of the wiring diagram(thanks soooo much, been great) but I am not with the car right now and the guys helping me do the car are having a hard time finding the proper wires.  Even a description from the firewall woould be helpful.  They did find the wire from the battery, good for them!

which solonoid are you looking for?

That info might help!  

Looking for starter solenoid diagram??  Gotta be a little more specific !!

OK OK!! Don't listen to what I write, Read what's locked down deep in the dark recesses of my aging mind.

The starter solenoid is fairly simple. THere are three terminals/studs on the starter solenoid...one large one in the center of the solenoid, and two smaller studs on either side of the larger one.
 You have the large red cable from the battery on the large center terminal/stud. On that same stud will be at least two, possibly 3 other red wires, each with a fuse-link on them. The fuse links will normally be about 4-5 inches up from the starter. These two(or three) other red wires are what basically carries the 12v power to the rest of the car, and the fuse-links protect the circuits.

The only other wire you'll have on the starter is the medium sized, purple wire, which comes from the ignition switch. This wire connects to the solenoid terminal closest to the engine block. If this wire is installed on the outer terminal/stud of the solenoid, the car will not start/crank.

Are you(they) having a problem with the starter or something?

does this help

Thanks, guys. No problem with starter.  New motor install.  I pulled the engine and marked all wires...ALL WIRES. A friend "helped me out" by cleaning up the engine compartment and took of all the tags "because they looked messy".  Luckily I was able to reidentify most of the wires.  I guess I didn't take it far enough.

There is sometimes a large-ish black wire in that area with a large eyelet, similar to the one on the battery cable. Make sure that wire is NOT connected to the solenoid anywhere! It is a ground, and should be on one of the bellhousing bolts. The only wires that go on the large, center stud on the solenoid will be red, or pinkish.

That's a great illustration/graphic, Bob!

All is well.  This is why I hate others working on my car.  When I went on a parts run over to my mechanic he showed me his problem.  I reached into a box of new and refurbished parts and pulled out the wiring harness he didn't know existed.  Why can't I get these mechanics to read my mind?  Shouldn't they know where I leave this stuff?!
