![]() I had a quick look at the starter motor wiring today whilst supervising 5 guys trying to make a boat cradle, dont ask...!
The diagrams all seem simple in the book with a feed from the battery to the solenoid, with an output bradded cable to feed the motor. It also has a solenoid connector with a spade terminal. However the loom from my 1986 Sierra XR4x4i has another cable attached with a copper crimp terminal on the end. Does anyone have any idea what this is for?? ![]()

all you need is the big red +ve from the battery to the big terminal on the starter motor and then a wire from the smaller terminal on the solenoid to the ignition. for a test start just touch the solenoid wire on the +ve of the battery. also dont forget to connect the -ve wire from the battery to a suitable location on the engine and chassis. if you pm me your email address i will email over some really nice diagrams you can print off on a3 paper i would put them up on the forum but they have copyright on them so its not a good idea. |

![]() If I am reading your post right, it'll most likely be the output wire from the alternator
![]() Best check the wiring diagram first though ![]() Most Fords of that era, ran the alternator output via the starter solenoid ![]()
