    Loosen the main battery wire at the starter. Fix it so it's not touching the soleniod (little wire) post. All fixed.

    so as soon as you get those big wires off the small wire..your issue will be fixed.

    Think of it like another dude sitting on your lap. It looks bad...and you'd rather fix it asap, right?

    Order doesn't matter. Keep them from touching the other posts on the starter and you won't have the issue you were having.

    PS.. clean your hands, that man is gonna want clean hands.

    So for clarification all three wires connect in any order right? Just make sure the three wires are touching the single purple wire?
