also got these grounded which looks funky to me so if anyone could help i would really appreciate it thanks
Thats just about the same as what my 99z looks like. I don't have any pictures... not goin out to the shop till tomorrow. but, i am also 99% sure that is just the mess that a GM tech left after doing the starter recall. (I THINK i am explaining this correctly) There was a recall for the starter trigger wire overheating from excessive cranking. GM solved this by adding a relay to the starting system (the one by the battery i think), less power draw through the relay on the trigger wire and fixed the problem. Mine looks like crap too, but i haven't messed with it at all yet.
Assuming your starter functions correctly, i'd just get some of the black wire loom, tuck the wires in so they look nice and zip tie em outta the way.
actually the problem is the starter doesnt even click when we turn the key and we no the wiring isnt right and we have been trying a few things but no luck still
Well I would just go with a test light and check all of the connections on the starter to see what is getting power and what isn't. Also check that relay by the battery, if it is bad it won't operate the circuit to engage the starter.
the relay clicks and i checks and its fine its just this wiring thats a pita and i put the key in the on position and jump the connections at the starter and it cranks over so i no its not that
I'll go check on my car which wire off the relay should trigger the starter. I'll get back to you with what one it should be. Then you can test that wire specifically.
I just rewired my entire 99Z.
Three wires go to the starter. One from Alternator, one from Positive of the battery, and one "can not remember the color" but can get pics tonight probably or tomorrow.
There is a negative that comes from the recall relay that is normally grounded to the bolt the holds the relay to the radiator, but sometimes is grounded to the trans. There is a small wire that goes to the 8/9mm nut below the large 13mm nut on the starter. Make sure that the larger wires are not touching the smaller stud under them.
