Where does this go?

This is sort of what they look like in their "Sierra" location.



Although this is on for a slightly (HAHAHAHAH) modified installation..

But these three plugs should be on your engine loom.

OK, I've definitely got a cluster of plugs that look like that very close to the battery connections. I didn't get a chance to work on the car really tonight so I'll have to try some of these things tomorrow night all going well. 1st thing to try is still take out fuses 20,21,22 and check black/yellow to see if one of the fuses has gone? Then take the starter off for testing?

The fuse won't have gone, We are looking for 12V coming back the wrong way indicating a short or miss connected wire. That wire should only feed via those fuses so with them removed we should hopefuly see 0v at the switch and then be able to work through the circuits...

Ok so got in the garage tonight and worked on this a bit more. I started with the fuses and took out 20,21,22 like you said and tried the voltage test again. I'm still getting 12v coming thru though with the fuses out on the yellow/black wire at the ignition

Here's a picture of the fuse box, I took out the 3 at the top left:



So I took a picture of the alternator connections just incase they're wrong..

Here's a picture of how the starter is currently wired up:


and some pictures of it on the bench:

I'm guessing these are the multiplugs you mentioned?


I've also got this thing which I'm not sure what it's for?


And another plug like this at the battery connections:

Ok test the voltages on the plug for the ignition switch with it unplugged.

Starter looks right, you can bench test it with a black jumplead on the case to the negative on the battery. Red Jump lead to the big terminal and + on the battery and then touch another wire from the + to the smaller terminal on the starter. IT WILL Jump a bit
