Default starter question(what wire where)

starting to hook the wiring up for the motor in the truck now, and i've hit a snag on the starter, not sure what goes where. i have 2 wires from my harness(same color) that are suppose to go to the starter and 1 wire from the battery. there are 3 terminals on the starter, 2 larger ones and 1 smaller one. need to know which wire goes where.


thank you

sorry can't post i pics, i really wanted too. i have a digi camera, but my computer has fried it self here recently, and i currently on someone else's laptop for a quick fix.


the truck is a 94 s10 blazer, but the harness is one made by painless for my 95 lt1. the wires from the harness are both red, both labeled "+" as well.


sorry again for not having a pic.

they didnt give you any type of diagram?? huh.... on the starter.. are you sure one of those studs isnt like a ground... so it should have a metal peice that runs to the body/frame of the starter as a ground... so im assuming that both of those wires runs to the small relay stud... and the big one of course for the battery cable... but just to be safe call painless and double check with them... thats what i would do.. sorry couldnt be of more help...
