I have an 87 F150 302. I have messed up the wires on the stater solenoid. There are 6 wires attached to the solenoid. I would appreciate the wire diagram for this Thank you Rachael

There is one large cable that leads down to the bottom of the engine(starter). This goes on one of the large terminals on the solenoid. All the rest of the wires with large eyelets go on the other side which includes the cable from the battery. The small push on terminal goes on the small stud. If you have two small studs, it should go on the one closer to the front of the truck.

The starter solenoid has three pins on it, two are large and of the same size opposite one another the third is smaller and above and towards the centre of the other two. The base of the solenoid should be grounded but may have a wire to the car body (ground). Wiring these things up is pretty easy if we walk through it. Three wire connections consisting of 1) the battery positive supply cable (heavy), 2) a fused medium weight cable (for lights) and 3) a heavy weight power 'link' supply cable to the fuse box should all be on the large left pin of the solenoid (as you look at it). The other large , right, solenoid pin should have only the one starter-motor power supply cable on it. The third smaller 'centre' pin has one light weight ignition lead (often red) plugged to it. Ordinarily the base plate of the solenoid is metal and when mounted onto the car body this provides enough grounding but sometimes this can be done through use of a light weight (usually black) grounding cable that is attached to the car body. To summarize, three wires to the left, one to the middle, one to the right and one to the solenoid body makes a total of six wires. Does this tally make sense to you? When you put the ignition key to position 3, power is supplied to the small centre pin. and current flows through the solenoids coil and exits to the ground. This coil when energized pulls up on a plunger with a connector plate at its top that makes contact between the solenoid's heavy pins allowing current to flow from the left 'power' pin to the right 'starter-motor' pin. The solenoid contact should remain closed whilst the starter key is held at position 3 and the engine cranks over. If the battery is in poor condition, loose battery terminals or poor cabling the solenoid can click rapidly (woodpecker) and the engine will refuse to crank.
