I just have a very simple question that i feel could easily be answered by anyone how has done anything with the stock wiring. Where does the one small black/Yellow wire go to from the starter? I can not find the connector for it so i am currently looking for where it comes from. I know it will probably come from either the ecu or from the fuse box under the hood, any help would be much appreciated.

you should probably take a cupple pictures. People are probably getting confused since the main ground wire is alot huger then the starter's power wire, and is also black/yellow

also confused on exactly which 'connector peice' your refering to, are you talking about the metal terminal, that is krimped to the end of a the wire? which wire eactly again? If so, that's always replaceable...

on the starter itself, there should be a flat male terminal, that a female krimp connector will connect to, this is where the small positive wire for the starter plugs into. The much larger, ground wire goes from the negative side of the battery, to one of the top 2 bolts that hold the transmission to the engine block.

black and yellow is ground

There are 3 wires going to it, the big main power coming off the battery, the other big black one that goes straight to ground, i meant the smaller black and yellow wire that has a black connecter to it that pluges into the harness somewhere. i cant figure out where that wire goes to, either the ecu or the fusebox.

I don't recall anything 'plugging into the harness' If you have a loose wire from the starter, the smaller one, and it's not connected to the harness, you'd have to find the where the wire snapped off the harness side, pull it up through the harness and splice the wires.

Use a good multimeter or 2 to figure out which wires are power and ground.

it'd be best to atleast take a picture, words alone only go so far as to describing a problem, let alone a wiring mess.

I hate to say it, but I still don't see the problem? Is the wire in hand, not connected to the wire harness? If so it's really hard to tell..but you would have to find it further down the harness past where it snapped off..

yes the wire that is in my hand, the one that hooks to the starter in the other picture, i was just wondering if anyone knew where it went. once it is connected were does it go? does it go into the fuse box? or does it go int the harness that goes into the cabin.

ill try to take a pic of mine in the day later but your really going to have to go through your wire harness one way or another....simply look for the same color wire after taking off some of the old electrical tape, and plastic sleeving around the wires...retape & sleeve after you're done..

I'd use krimp connectors and automotive grade electrical tape...I also like liquid tape since its good for weathering..

Its connector number 1. pin 1 used(with nipple), pin 2 blank. its for your cruise control.
