Re: Wire on starter

That doesn't go to the starter.

Looks more like the remains of the knock sensor connector. On the block right next to the "front" end of the starter (opposite where its bolts go through).

Fan temp switch on the passenger side cylinder head. Round connector that looks like the knock sensor used to turn on the fan/s.

Re: Wire on starter

I saw that haha, but it is the legitimate service book. Everything else looks right though.
