You need to reach down around the passenger side of the engine to get to it. Or make up a jumper wire where you can attach the big wire from the battery too the purple wire on the solenoid. This should make the starter engage.

COMMENT BY: RGMANN 0 0 1 1 3 6 72 COMMENT DATE: Mar. 1, 1:17 PM QUALIFICATIONS: Site Rank: 12 If you try to bypass the solenoid with a jumper wire you might want to place a push button in the wire connection,there is a lot of current in the wires that will cause sparking and its not the easiest place to be working from anyway ( best to hook up from the bottom ).If the wires make a connection to something grounded you could fry other electrical components.It would be easier to just drop the starter and replace the solenoid.
