Pictures of wires

[sburke]

Can I get pictures of anyones wiring to their starter. THe Haynes manual is not even close to being specific and only gives good pictures of the 3.4l and 2.2l not the 2.4. Thanks

Everyone is misunderstanding this, the car sat for two weeks with the starter out, by the time I put the new starter back in I couldn't picture the way the wires go.

Right now I have it wired up so that the small power wire is on the smallest bolt (obviously it's the only place it can fit) and I have the two negative wires going to the top and the two positive wires on the bottom. I believe that is how it is supposed to look because that is how I always remember doing it. I just want to make sure that I didn't make a stupid mistake just because I wasn't thinking but I have nothing to reference my belief off of. That is why I am asking for pictures, all the Haynes manual has in it is a diagram for bench testing and an electrical schematic in the back that I couldn't read if my life depended on it.

I'm making 100% sure that the current problem with my car rests somewhere else and not in a simple little wiring issue that I screwed up just because I can't remember. It would suck to have to pay hundreds of dollars for a mechanic just to say "Dude you have your wires backwards" That's why I am asking all of you and that's what these boards are supposed to be for, help not harrasment.

I guess what I'm looking for spy is a color picture, the haynes manual isn't, and one of the positive wires looks exactly like one of the negative wires in it's design.

The wire that goes over the bolt is bent at a 90 degree angle, squares off at the end and has a little rubber piece just above the wire. There is a positive and a negative wire that both look like that, so I am trying to get better definition.
