    New member, new m1008 extra battery wire?

    I though I would try to jump the starter. Ut I have to work for the next three days. The starter is the huge direct drive with correct brace. I have the old one too.

    New member, new m1008 extra battery wire?

I hooked up the small red wire from the engine wiring harness block and the black one from the body ground. There is an extra red wire coming off...
