Re: Starter Wiring
Should be 2 terminals on starter, 1 larger, one smaller. Purple wire to smaller one, everything else to larger one (batt pos and all fusible links). This is a stock harness setup - have no idea how the push button starter was wired in.

Re: Starter Wiring
It should have a small wire going to the spade on the solenoid. Mine was purple in my '90. That's what has power when the key is turned to start so the solenoid links the other posts giving power to starter to turn. Usually the top most post is the one that has the power from the battery ran to it and another one or 2 wires smaller ring connectors that pass the power on to other accessories.
Pretty easy. 1 small wire normally a spade on the spade connector. Small Ring connectors and the battery power line on one post. The 3rd post is only used to run the wire to the starter motor.

Re: Starter Wiring
Yes. Without the purple wire on the spade connection you will never have power to the bottom post that makes the starter work. That's the power wire to trigger the solenoid.
