Welcome to 2CarPros.

Can you describe what is happening with the wires you mentioned? Also, is the starter engaging or does nothing happen?

I attached 2 pictures. They show the entire starting system (starter circuit). I had to break it into two pictures to make it readable, but I did overlap it so you can follow it. Let me know if the wires you are referring to are shown in the schematic. Also, I need to know what is happening with the wires you mentioned.

If the starter is in question, here is a link that shows how to test a starter:

Here is a link related to a crank/no start condition:

Let me know if any of this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,
Joe
