| - | IT IS IMPORTANT that you use the __**Large Short** Terminal to connect to the Starter Motor__ and the __**Large Long** Terminal to connect to the Battery__. If the Large Terminals of your solenoid are not one Long & one Short, use a multimeter or test light to bench test which Large Terminal has some continuity to the Small Terminal. Whichever Large Terminal has some continuity to the Small Terminal is the one that is connected to the Internal PULL-IN Coil and is the one to be connected to the Starter Motor. | + | **IT IS IMPORTANT** that you use the __**Large Long** Terminal to connect to the Battery__ and the __**Large Short** Terminal to connect to the Starter Motor__.
