What wires go to the solenoid?
Starter solenoid. A typical starter solenoid has one small connector for the starter control wire (the white connector in the photo) and two large terminals: one for the positive battery cable and the other for the thick wire that powers the starter motor itself (see the diagram below).
How do you hook up a starter solenoid wire?
Remote-Mounted Solenoid
- Disconnect the black negative cable from the battery.
- Mount the solenoid in place in the engine compartment using a wrench or ratchet and socket.
- Connect the red cable coming from the battery to the large bolt on the left-hand side of the solenoid.
Where does the solenoid power wire go?
It would connect at the blade connector on the left hand side of your picture. Only the heavy cable from the battery will connect to the threaded post.
Where does the ignition wire go?
Connect the ignition wire to the “IGN” terminal of the ignition switch. This is the main terminal that is used for vehicle ignition, wipers, accessories and other operating features. This is the normal “run” position of the switch.

What do I connect the blue power antenna wire to?
Connect both blue (to power antenna) and blue/white (to remote amp terminal) wires to the blue/white (remote wire from Head Unit). Now, when you power on the radio, the antenna will also rise. (the remote wire from HU sends +12V signal to turn on both the amp and power antenna when radio is on).
What is antenna trigger wire?
The blue wire is the ‘trigger’ wire for the antenna to raise up. In my 500E I only use the brown, Red & Blue wire to operate the power antenna. IIRC you can simply touch / jumper the Blue wire to the red on the antenna (As a test only) and that should make the Antenna rise as you keep it connected.
