Hello,

You are talking about crossing the battery power and the starter solenoid, which is also located on the starter. In the diagrams down below I have included the wiring diagram for the starter circuit, a connector view with callout of the starter solenoid connector and excerpts from the installation instructions showing where the battery cable and the solenoid connector are for your vehicle. Please use this information as you wish. I hope this helps and please remember safety first.

Thanks,
Alex
