Starter Hey guys me again uh so I’ve got a issue does the purple wire from my original wiring harness on my car go to the signal stud on the ls starter or do I need to run a different wire for it because I’ve been having to use another wire to hook to my key on power wire with and I’ve not gotten any luck on videos they all just say **** and not really show anything and I’m just wondering so I don’t have to keep disconnecting the wire after starting the car anymore would like to be able to just turn the key over and it starts and the starter quits turning over😂😂

YouTube videos are not your best resource for doing wiring.
Exactly, pull the schematics out and learn them. Removing a wire and re-connecting it is clearly not the way so get it right before you burn the car down.
No way any of us here can help with anything we aren't looking at the car to even see what clusterfck you are working with.
Purple wire is the 12v to the starter solenoid when the Key is turned to START, that's how the Ignition Switch works. If you're having to jump wires the clearly something is built wrong.
