Alright guys, I need some help.

The PO of my car did all sorts of ghetto wiring with packing tape and crimp connectors on my DSM. This resulted in my battery becoming discharged after sitting every night, so I finally got sick of it and ripped out everything that was hooked up that didn't look stock.

In doing so, I think I might have removed something important, because my car's not getting as much juice as it should, and I don't believe the fuel pump is turning on, (even though it's rewired) because it's not starting, even when I'm jumping it.

So, can someone tell me how many wires should come off of the positive battery terminal, and where they should go? I've been looking for a wiring schematic, but haven't found one.

Thanks.
 
The negative should have two, the positive should have three. As to where they connect, I'm not sure at the moment, but the one positive wire should have a set of three fuses on the top.
 
Thanks for the reply.

I think the positive cables are my problem, as I currently only have two stock cables (not inclulding the pump rewire).

The two I have both have squarish-metal connectors, and the one has the three fuses in it for the MPI and all that jazz.

Is there supposed to be one more wire with a round connector that has an inline fuse attached to it?

If so, anyone know where it connects? I'm thinking that it might go to the fuse panel inside the cabin, but I'm not positive (no pun intended).
