Hello,

I have install all connection wiring to engine but only hear click of solenoid but starter motor not turn. And I have check that no electricity at yhe big red wire on the starter motor. What is wrong?

Thank you in advance
Markus

Now I can starter the engine but with additional of big wire that connected from baterai terminal plus to the stater terminal.

So I think my original wire has broken. My quetion does is it OK to replace the wire like this?

Thank you

Highly unlikely that the original wire has broken, and if it has, it should be extremely obvious.
One end is permanently attached to the battery + clamp, and the other end is a large ring terminal on the outer large stud of the starter motor solenoid, where the medium sized cable from the alternator should also be.

Does the original wire is only just a wire or has any connection to other electrical part? So I just make wire replacement like my picture?

Or has any separated plug in the middle that maybe lost contact?

It is just a lager core cable, nothing special about it at all.

Thank you Brian and Hairy for has helping with info

The main worry here is if the cable is connected at one end, but not at the other, then just where is the disconnected end? If it touches against bare metal of the engine or body, then there are going to be BIG sparks, the possibility of substantial bits of metal becoming red hot, and the battery exploding.
The cable should be permanently attached to the battery + clamp, but the clamp I can see in your pic. looks like an aftermarket replacement, of the type usually associated with those that think you need 2000W to listen to music in your car.

sorry, but does this ignition cable has connection with alternator? because only 1 cable that connect to batterai (+) terminal to charger the batterai?

Ok, I will disconnect the broken cable and replace the additional cable with more smaller and nice cable. Thank you
