So I have become a the latest member of the "One Click" Club. One click at start up no turning over at all. I've changed the solenoid on right passenger fender wall. Pulled and checked the starter and AZ said it was good. I'm down to replacing the wires running from the battery to ... well everything. No worries in that, I found a GREAT thread on this site, thanks to Tbars4.
Here is my issue, in research on the starter I realized I have a wire that is not present on my starter. I have found that it is the negative held in place by the nut on the bolt at the bottom connector of the starter.
Now the questions.
1) Is it possible this has been rigged to ground some other way by the previous owner, (or did I miss it when I reconnected the starter after the bench test)
2) Where is this negative cable coming from so I can find it & reconnect it?
3) & This is for the hard core riggers out there. Can I safely run a (new or another) negative cable down the following the path of the positive cable and connect it there?
Here is a pic from another post on this site to get those memories jogging
Thanks for giving this noob here this much of your time!!!
