How many wires to connect up my new starter?
One big cable from the starter to the big lug on the solenoid housing, and one spade connector to the small blade connector on the solenoid housing.

Why is my starter not connecting to the battery?
It also could mean there is a problem with the cable sending high amp power to the starter, like corrosion on the cable ends. If this cable uses a secondary lug connection and uses two cables to get power from the battery to the starter, this lug connection may be corroded as well.
How does the starter work on a car?
