wires that connect to starter?

I realize that I should already know this. What are the four bigger wires that connect to the starter motor? I know the smaller wire is what makes the solenoid engage the flywheel. I am asking because I recently installed a new starter motor and while I was under there I had to cut-N-crimp one of the fusible links(?) that had melted to the passenger side header. Now the fuel pump has an intermittent running problem. Some times the pump primes whenI turn the key, sometimes it does not. I want to make sure that it does not have anything to do with this wire, since I may not have gotten a good connection on it. Thanks in advance!

Re: wires that connect to starter?

the 2 fusible link wires go to the C100 plug on the driver side near the brake booster; powers the fuse box inside. should also be one that goes to the battery. 4th, not 100% sure.
