ok, for the life of me either i'm retarted or the jeep is. I can't remember which way to hook these wires back up on the starter. I connected them the way i thought they should be, and got sparks like it was a welder when i reconnected the negative on the battery post.


here are pics from below the starter, it's a 95 4.0 6cyl..

any help would be great.

Here is a pic from my XJ (1993). That is shot from the front bumper looking back. The red wire goes to my push button I use when the NSS acts up. haha

Where does that red wire go? Are you sure it goes to the battery positive post? I will go look at mine. I don't remember having that one. Did you just replace your starter or did you pull motor?
 
small wire goes on post #1 in your pic, both big wires go on post #2 in your pic
 
Thnking about it now. MAybe you factory wires went bad and someone replaced it with a regular wire. Where did you connect it when it smoked? I would guess (but don't go do it) it would go on what you have listed as #2.
