On an FB automatic starter, there are two post fan one spade style connector on the solenoid. I have 3 wires , 1 with a huge metal L-shapped connector, one with a simple "o" style connector, and one with the spade connector.

The spade connector wire is obvious where it goes.

as for the other two wires, which goes on the left which goes on the right?

I know this is a stupid question, but I have searched the FSM and Haynes manuals as well as the foru,s and I have yet to find a good reference for this other than schematics.

Thanks in advance

Ok I'll try to help. My car was an auto. Wire #1 is from the battery I think and it is MUCHO DANGEROUS so make sure your neg battery cable is disconnected. It goes on the soleniod terminal that *doesn't* have the wire between it and the starter. This wire should have a counterpart that's a battery ground with yellow stripes on it; this goes on one of the starter bolts. The spade is obvious like he said.

The little o-ring connector (Wire #2) though is a mystery to me. It was connected to one of the terminals on the soleniod (I can't remember which) but its equivilent on the 5-speed tranny seemed to activate the hot-starting assist motor (wtf?) so I don't think you even need it at all.
