I need help ASAP. .!Starter!.
Okay so.. I've currently been doin a motor swap on my Cobalt and am completely rewired exept I can't remember how the starter was wired. I know there's some wire that goes from under the head light and the fuse box down to somewhere around the starter. and theres like three really really small wires that look like they'd be grounds cause they aren't red or anything. I'm not really sure at all how this damn thing is wired. That's about all I need and I can drive my car again. Please and thank you. Any pics would be helpful.
Oh yeah! there's a yellow sensor I can't remember where it goes it lays around the tranny. any ideas.?
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

The big power wire from the fuse box goes to the large terminal on the starter. There is also a smaller one going from that same terminal to the alternator to power it. The smaller power wire coming to the smaller terminal on the starter is distinguished by it's slightly larger diameter than the other wires around it, but it's part of the harness still. That should be it.
post a picture of the small wires and sensor,
and like ItalianJoe1 said, the large wire from the fuse box runs to the starter (it is taped to the engine ground wire at some points)...then from the alternator their is another big wire that runs to the same terminal on the starter as the power wire, and then the only other wire is the signal wire, which goes on the small stud on the starger (i think its an 8mm nut) and the power is like a 12mm
by chance are these the wires you are talking about??
if so..the 2 bigger ones up close are ground wires and the small one in the background is the starter signal wire...
the 2 ground wires from the pic above go with the ground bolt that gets bolted to the trans
(the bolt is the one by my pointer and middle finger on the pic below, and the red wire goes from the starter to the fuse box)
