1) heavy gauge wire, provides 'actual' power. this is hot [+12v] at all times
2) small wire, signal to solenoid. +12v when key is in START position.

EDIT: so get a multi meter and check - do you have +12v at the starter at all times? [the heavy gauge wire, that's 'bolted' on. not the spade terminal]

Going to check all of that today.
What the fucking fire hazard was a good laugh haha. I wont leave any of it how it is, going to cover a lot of shit up.

I think my problem could be that im using 2 gauge wire running to the trunk and im not getting enough power to the starter. Ill let you guys all know in a couple hours

edit:
Also gonna use multimeter like you said to

nah man, 2 gauge is plenty.

I just said it in another thread, i'll say it again and again.

electrical 101 - get multimeter, start at battery, trace wires and check each step along the way....do you have 12v when and where you should?

answer my first questions and we can go from there.

Weird.... so, i moved battery to front, (just set it on the windshield), and car started up (turnedover) when the battery was in the back i was getting 12 to the starter, and when the battery was in the front, same thing. The thing is, is when somebody turns the key And attempts to start the car, it only reads to about 8-9 volts and wont turn it over when it is at 6. So problem is solved, but technically could still have issues when i put it back in trunk with 2 gauge.
