3 wires go to the starter motor.One heavy black wire that runs from battery positive terminal to the big stud terminal on the starter motor.Under the same terminal on the starter is a smaller 150 cm black wire that is a fusible link that is joined straight to a red wire that runs in corrogated conduit along the back of the firewal to a 3 terminal connector and then through the fiewall and then to feed all the electrics inside the car.This connector was a source of trouble in time and often went open circuit and many people cut out this connection and joined the wire in a barrel lug.
In the same 3 terminal connector is a purple wire that runs to the spade terminal on the starter.It is the starter solenoid wire and it originates from the ignition switch under the steering shroud so when you turn the key 12v is sent to the starter solenoid to pull it in and inside the starter a big contact is made to connect the heavy cable to the starter motor to put 12v on the windings. Inside the starter motor the solenoid when it is pulled in also moves the small gear up to mesh with the engine flywheel to turn the motor over.
The switch you have extra must doing what the purple wire should be doing due to a fault in it somewhere.
