1992 nissan truck, 4 wheel drive, 4 cylinder. Truck will only be started by popping clutch. Just changed alternator, Can't turn off because it will not start. Checked the wiring looks o k except for looked under truck, 2 wires loose and hanging. One is yellow one is black. To transmission? Just put in new clutch and new alternator. I just need some idea of where to begin to check or where these two wires need to be connected, or what? Thanks in advance. Happy New Year. You will make mine if I can get this fixed right.

IF YOU MEAN IT WILL "ROLL START" WITH THE KEY ON---YOU ARE GETTING IGNITION---STARTER JUST AIN'T WORKIN'

IT COULD POSSIBLY BE THE STARTER, IF YOU REMOVE IT, MOST POPULAR AUTO PARTS STORES WILL TEST IT FOR FREE

Youll need a cheap test light. Test the wire on the starter seloniod that comes from the ingition switch. To get power when u turn the keyto start poeition.
