can't tell from your diagraim but fat wire always goes to hot (pos) either on battery or starter, the other wires may be all the same color but stripes should be different colors, just match them up and you should be good to go. Wayne

yup fat goes to battery, thts that one sorted, cheers. but sadly there is nothing to match the wires up to because someone cut the wires out.... so i have to run new ones. can you tell me if the wires are going to the right place on the diagram if you presume the fat one is going to the battery ? cheers.

sorry, but I can't tell from the diagram, just about every manufacter is different, so you will need a wiring diagram for that vehicle, cheers, Wayne
