Ground Starter Location

[Lapprentis]

Hi, I need to get to the Starter Ground : when I did look from the top of the engine (engine bay), I can see a small wire (S Terminal) clipped through a plastic connector on the top of the Magnetic Switch, above much larger wires (B and M terminals). 2 wires start from there and goes up to the battery compartment. Wich one is the Ground ?

Thanks

I don't know the electrical diagram of the Delica specifically, but usually the starter gets its ground from the fact that it is attached to the engine/transmission which is grounded through a large cable or strap from the battery. The whole body/engine block is the ground on most cars I have dealt with.

Chris, you are right ! Since posting that, I did realized that most modern and NA cars do not have ground on their starter.....
It is just that I did received instruction for a device installation and they were refering to that ground.....

Lets close this post !

the large wire from solenoid to starter motor case is ground, other large wire on solenoid (top of starter) is positive, which is connected to battery positive post. energizer wire at solenoid (small one from ignition) closes that circuit.
