prefacelift/ facelift starter motor wirin

[bmw9818]

got a 1.3 loom with bl/gr and bl/yl and the thick red, changing out the old 1.1,

the old one has the red, bl yellow and a very thick wire coming straight off the battery?

how am i hooking the new one up?

[bmw9818]

soldered the spade terminal onto bl/yl.... as it was missing

do i basically re-use the other thick black cable from the old wiring loom for the starter where it hooks straight to the batt, basically same set up as before and just tape off the black green wire on the 1.3 loom?

Connect the black/green to the INNER large terminal on the solenoid if this is in a facelift car.
If it's an older car, and the black/green doesn't go anywhere at the C101, then you can just tape it off.

do i leave out the thick black cable then coming off the batt?
