Starter wires??? On a 2000 C5, what are the wires on the starter. I know one is the ground on one post. There is the power from the batter on the other post, so what other wires are there.?

I got that, the small purple going to the small post, the ground heavy wire from the big post into the starter itself. And the large red wire going to the other big post, but I have two other small wires going to that same post... What are they for..?
