Hey guys i still dont understand why in the wiring plan for vh v8s it says theres suppose to be 3 connections to the starter the normal battery cable the violet ignition wire and it says theres suppose to be a red and black fusible wire going to the starter also wats the go guys i really need help to get my baby started thanks

[leigh 7005]

is there a wire under there?

[leigh 7005]

have you checked your plugs behind the dash

[vh2nv]

na man haven't checked the plugs yet why do you think there may be something unplugged

[leigh 7005]

ive got a vh v8 manuale in front of me and there is three wires i dont thinkl it needs this wire ill have a look at mine and see if its got that wire going to it

[leigh 7005]

if theres no lights on the dash there might be

[vh2nv]

see its weird i've got a brand new fully charged v8 battery but when you turn the key its like its dead this has really got my head spining get back to me as soon as people can thanks

[leigh 7005]

just had a look at mine the red wire goes to the positive aswell as the positive lead and also saw on mine there is a fusible link up at the positive terminal

[leigh 7005]

so have you checked your ground wires to the engine?

[leigh 7005]

try checking that fuseble link as in the manual it says fusible link and thats the only one i can see

[leigh 7005]

also check you positive lead is tight on starter

[vh2nv]

wat the red wire go's to the starter or or the battery is the fusible link a red wire that changes to black

[leigh 7005]

yea the red wire is down nere the starter it gose to the positive on the starter yes black to red on the battery terminal

[delcowizzid]

should be a round crimp on terminal that goes on the positive battery pole of the starter with the main fat power wire if you dont have one dangling round not connected it can sometimes be feed from the battery positive instead of the starter.sometimes it is attached to the starter with a spade terminal like the crank wire as well.this will supply the ignition switch or fuse box with power

[vh2nv]

so wat your saying is that there should be 3 wires to the starter is this right man

[leigh 7005]

yep red violet and fat positive

[vh2nv]

well where does the other red wire come from cause i only got 2 of the wires connected at the moment they are the fat positive and the violet ignition wire if i knew where to look i might be able to get something happening thanks man

[leigh 7005]

mine i think goes to the positive battery not sure as its rapd in the loom delcowizzid might know hes a electrics man by the looks of it

[delcowizzid]

if you cant see any unconnected wire hanging somewhere near the starter and didnt take one off when you removed the old starter it will be feed from the battery positive terminal instead.

[vh2nv]

so you have got 3 wires at your starter motor end right

[vh2nv]

and where does the wire go to man

[leigh 7005]

yes like delco said run a wire to the positive on starterto the positive on the battery

[delcowizzid]

it feeds all the 12 volt power to ignition and fuses etc

[leigh 7005]

and if that dosnt work try it on the other conection on the starter there should be a spare spade terminal

[vh2nv]

boys i'll be back on later im gona go try some stuff let u know how it go's later thanks again
