I tried to start up my car and it started smoking. The 3 wires going to the terminal shorted out. I thought i ordered another protourque starter but i ordered the 829100 gear reduction starter. I have 3 heavy red wires going to the big terminal with the battery wire and 1 red wire that was going to the seperate small terminal. The single red wire burnt completely up inside of the starter at he terminal.I can not figure out what the wire that went into the single terminal is for.

I want to be sure i wire it correctely and i do not know which wires go where on this 3 terminal starter. should there be 4 wires besides the battery going to the starter?
Should all 4 of those wires get a fusible link?

thanks

 

Bump, I might have the same problem. Wondering if anyone has any insight on this.
