Solenoid Wiring
The positive (B+) battery cable connects to the
large lower terminal of the starter solenoid. This
terminal also provides the 12 V power supply to
the engine harness (red wire) and the 10 A fuse.
The red/purple wire from the fuse holder (10 A)
provides 12 V to terminal "B" of key switch. The
negative (B–) battery cable connects to the main
ground stud located next to starter solenoid.
