The way it has been hooked up is that the top stud where the battery connects to the starter there too is a wire that goes to the ammeter. Nothing has been hooked up to this side terminal adjacent to the stud and currently the starter on the truck has no side terminal. Should this be changed and reinstalled? All the wiring diagrams I have seen never show a wire running from this side terminal to the coil to allow 12V when the switch is closed as you have described. They have always showed this Violet wire going to the Start terminal on the ignition switch from the Resistor (by pass) terminal on the side of the starter. Is this Resistor (by pass) the same thing as the "side terminal" we have been referring too?
