Starter Wiring New Bosch Starter ?
Hello all..I replaced my starter with a New Bosch Starter but having trouble with the wiring. I have two large wires and one small white wire in the wiring harness. Do the two large wires connect together on the one starter stud ? Does the small white wire connect using the little screw ?

thanks for any helps...Jonathan

Thanks Plutoe:

sorry i I need to correct the number of wires

I have one wire from battery positive
I have one wire with the same size eyelet as the battery positive cable
i have one small wire with the small eyelet

So not including the battery positive cable I have 2 wires like you mention. Do I connect both the positive battery eyelet with the other wire with same eyelet size or the large post on the starter ?

thanks...Jonathan

Oh no...I just connected the one large wire and the battery positive wire, onto the large stud and connected battery and solenoid went pop ! Looking at the wiring diagram it shows the positive cable from battery and also the other one goes to the alternator connecting to the one large stud with nut, then the small wire connecting with a small screw

Did I screw this up because it all looks right according to the wiring diagram ? Thanks for any help
