Starter Wiring (Vader)

The other day you (VADER) said something about the 2 wires going to the main bolt on the starter. I was curious as to were they go or come from? I have 4 wires going to my starter and 3 of them are on the main post......The Battery Cable and then the 2 others. I cant tell what color they are because they are so faded and Im Color Blind! Is that a Red Light!

They are the main power feeds/fusible links for the chassis/engine power wiring. Almost all your power is fed through these connections, except the ECM/Fuel Pump fuse, elelctric fans, and possibly a few other key items. If one of these fusible links fails, you may not have power to the ignition switch to start the engine.

OK that helps me out a lot. I couldnt trace them down yesterday. To many wires go this way and that way. Is it possible that my starting problem could be related to my Clutch Safety Switch??? Because I moved it around yesterday and now I havent had a starting problem YET! (knock on wood!!!)
