Q: Connecting wires from my battery to my starter.
I'm trying to rewire my engine as my old wires gave out. I can't find anywhere online what wires go where. The ones in question are the positive side running from battery to the starter and the negative/ground wire running from the battery to somewhere either on the starter or near it. I get no clicking or anything when trying to start my car. All my electronics work on the inside. The only issue I have is my starter not engaging. The starter did test fine and is relatively new. My battery and alternator also are fine. Engine oil level is good, fuel level is good.
My car has 250000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
