i just ripped off my dash and pulled a bunch of stuff out, and ripped out all the wiring that pertained to the ECU or w/e, but i left everything that was for the lights and stuff alone, i wanna test them and make sure they are all still in working order after all my cutting and stuff. When i was ripping down my engine bay i unhooked all the wires off the solenoid, i think thats what its called, the circular 2 post thing with all the wires on the drivers side fender area, i was wondering if someone could take a pic of that for me so i know which wires go on what post so i can hook up my battery to make sure it all still works, thanks guys.

the starter wire should go to teh small one
the wire to the starter should go on one of the big ones
all the others should go to the other
i think, just trace the wire and figure out when it needs power and attach it to the appropriate post

There no motor in the car, so i dont need to worry about the starter wires and stuff, i was just gonna hook the battery to it and just see if all the blinkers and stuff worked properly... The positive lead from the battery doesnt hook to one of those post on the solenoid? Here are some pictures of the wires i have left to hook up...

Heres my solenoid so far...

This one has a yellow wire going to the ring terminal, where does this one go...

View attachment 456023 This one has a green wire going to the ring terminal, which post shoudl i put this on, the one with the metal box looking thing?

View attachment 456025 I looked at this one, and it didnt fit onto either post of the solenoid, looks like it may need to be bolted to the fender well or summin somewhere??????

ok if your looking at the solenoid the green wire, yellow wire and postive all go on the LEFTpost I just checked my car, and for the last pic it's hard to tell but looks very similar to the wire on the RIGHT post
