I can not find one of the wires that's suposed to be connected to the starter.
The starter has 3 connection points where wires are suposed to be connected.
I was replacing the tranny and for some weird reason I can not find this wire, and obviusly the car won't start.
The big wire is connected and the one from the drivers side (the wire that travels from the harness on the tranny and goes in front of the engine, rather long one).
It's rather hard for me to explain this in english but I hope some one here knows what I'm talking about.
I've searched the web, trying to find any pitchures but I can't find any.
If some one can help me, please!

There are three connection points, but only two are used. The forward most terminal, when looking from in front of the engine is where the smaller wires hook to.

OK, thanks alot, my hair was turning gray trying to find that lost wire, witch didn't excist.
Then why doesn't my car start up?
I turn the key and nothing...I checked all the fuses in the car, all wiring seems to be in perfect order, there's a brand new battery in the car and I just replaced the starter (due to the same problem).
Is it one of the relay's?
Witch relay is for the starter?

One of the wires is the battery sense wire, that connects to the large terminal, along with the positive battery cable. The other wires go to the forward most small terminal on the starter.

Great! It usually is something simple like the wires not on the right terminal. I've done it before too!
