    Anybody got a photo of the connections for the wires to the starter motor?

    Solenoid. ;)
    Ring connectors on the stud that doesn't have a copper braid to the starter itself.
    Spade(s) on the two spades.
    If you have a weird solenoid like me with two sets of spade terminals, use the top ones. I don't know what the bottom ones are for but they don't work for starting.

    Isn’t the bottom one on the two spade version for the fuel-injection models?

    On the two spade ones they are the same, its where I connect a wire used to tell my computer to ignore some sensors when its cranking. Which also doubles as a remote start if you pull apart a bullet connector.

    To be clear, mine has four spades, two pairs, one at the top , one at the bottom. They don't do the same thing.

    Everything with a ring terminal on the longer stud, spade from loom on spade. If you have a hot start relay the wire from the loom will go to the relay trigger it and the switched 12v from the relay will plug onto the spade.

    @zedders thanks for info, I've got a new loom with no wiring details so trying to tag each wire as to where they go

    There are colour wiring diagrams on the samba site?

    @Deefer66 thanks for the info, red and black onto the spade: does it matter which spade connection?
     
  17. I think those two in the photo are connected at the base so shouldn't matter.

    @iblaze did you buy a complete loom? and if so would you be able to copy the wiring diagram for me, a bit cheeky but everything helps.
