You should have a large cable from the battery going to the post marked "B" along with two or three smaller red wires that are fusible links. There is a post below the one marked "B" that has a lead going to the starter itself. There is not a wire or any thing else going from that post marked "I" to the post marked "B". There is a small purple wire going from the "park/neutral" switch (automatic) or "clutch safety" switch (manual) to the post marked "I".

2.has no wires hooked to it
