I just figured out why my 3.0 junker won't start. The lead wire (not the one from the battery, but from the solenoid) isn't connected.

My question is:

How in the world is one supposed to re-connect this starter wire?!?

It's basically impossible to reach the plug from any direction.

Thanks for all input!

 

in the fender well by frame there are a few bolts that hold a panel in place and gives you a clear view of the starter. should be able to reconnect better
