I dont see anything down there that looks like it should be
Or are you talking about my smaller wire on the positive? Is that suppose to be on the starter?
Im sure i sound like a moron but i know absolutely nothing about electrical stuff
In your first picture I think I can see at least one of the wires sitting on top of the solenoid, towards the back of the car, relative to where the battery cable attaches.
 
Where does the red wire from the battery go...I have seen people hack stuff up to avoid replacing the fuse links, cause they can be a PITA to access

The thin one goes through the firewall to the ignition switch im guessing? Really not positive. I havent had the car no more than 2 weeks so im pretty ignorant to most of how things are setup.
 
Is it wrapped into the harness, or is just a random wire? Pic?

Theres wires all over the place. The whole car needs to looked through and have the wiring cleaned up. I got some wires hanging here and there that arent connected to anything but i have no clue what they go to so i dont mess with them lol im trying to at least get the car to start without having to say "well it might start" so o can get tags and stuff then i'm gonna have everything else taken care of. but i for sure didnt see the fuse links down there but i need to look in the daylight.
 
Zoom in on your first picture. I think the wire(s) you are looking for are laying on top of the solenoid.
 
?

It feels like we are having a communication disconnect. If you zoom in on this picture you can see a wire curving down and to the left of the picture frame. This is likely the wire(s) that need to be connected to the post with the battery cable.

I get what your saying. Some of those wires go to other things. But in that picture i sent of the old cable. I think i saw it hooked up. Its a black cable? Did you see?
