Starter Wire connection

Trying to find where all the wires go after someone cut most of them under the hood. I think I have found where most go but want to make sure I have the correct one on the starter. I believe there is a large one that goes from the fuse box on the driver side to the large bolt along with the battery cable but not sure of the one that plugs in. Can anyone tell me what color it may be to make it easier for me to have the correct one.

Thanks, Kerwin

Usually you will see the positive battery terminal having 2 large wires going to it. In most setups power to turn the starter motor comes directly from the battery terminal via a large wire. The starter has a solenoid that is controlled by another wire via ignition switch. When this other wire is powered, the solenoid is engaged and a solenoid switch connects the power from the large wire (from battery) to the motor.
The power for the cars other electrical systems also comes directly from the battery. It then goes to a fuse box, from here it goes through the ignition switch and is distributed to the cars other systems and fuse boxes.

From the wiring diagram I have: The starter motor has a large Black/Red wire directly from the battery and a smaller Black wire (solenoid wire) going to what must be a junction box. From here goes to the neutral starter relay for the clutch safety switch and injector system and then to ignition switch.

There is also another large Black wire going from the battery to a fuse box having a 30A and 100/40A fuses in series. From here it branches into to two circuits Black/Red and White), both going to the ignition switch. One will power the starter solenoid and other circuits. The other is for items powered with the ignition switch are on.
