Step
1
Disconnect the black negative cable from the battery.
Step
2
Raise the vehicle using a jack and support it safely on jack stands if necessary. Depending on your
vehicle model, you might have to install and wire the starter-solenoid assembly from underneath the car.
Step
3
Bring the starter as close as possible to its mounting bracket on the
engine.
Sometimes you can use the jack to support it while you make the
electrical connections, and this comes in handy since the starter is
somewhat heavy and awkward to work on while you hold it with one hand.
Step
4
Use a wrench or ratchet and socket to connect the red battery cable to
the big bolt on the solenoid and the bypass ignition terminal wire to
the small bolt underneath the first bolt. If there is enough room, you
might want to start threading the starter mounting bolts without
tightening them before you make the connections.
Step
5
Make sure the wires are well connected and finish mounting the starter on the engine.
Step
6
Lower the
vehicle and reconnect the black negative cable.
Remote-Mounted Solenoid
Step
1
Disconnect the black negative cable from the battery.
Step
2
Mount the solenoid in place in the engine compartment using a wrench or ratchet and socket.
Step
3
Connect the red cable coming from the battery to the large bolt on the left-hand side of the solenoid.
Step
4
Connect the starter cable to the large bolt located on the right-hand side of the solenoid.
Step
5
Connect the control wire to the small control circuit terminal on the
left-hand side of the solenoid. It is usually marked with the letter
"S" .
Step
6
Connect the other small wire to the ignition bypass terminal, which is on the right-hand side of the solenoid.
Step
7
Reconnect the black negative battery cable.
