I am just getting the engine back in my 914 and have three wires that I did not mark. Can anyone tell me where they go? They come through the tin on the driver's side along with the starter wires. The shortest one in the picture appears to be green with a red (or brown) line, the second longest appears to be black with a red line and the longest one is all black and is a heavier gauge.

Thanks for the help.

That makes no sense. Are you color blind by any chance? I am, and had my wife look at the picture and your colors do not match up with what she sees.
If these wires come from the engine bay tin toward the rear of the car along with the starter wires, then take a picture of the starter area with the other wires and maybe I can get you straightened out.
To me, and my wife, the shortest wire looks yellow - is there a yellow wire to your solenoid terminal? The other two look like the wires for the back-up light switch on the trans, and someone has done some rewiring or repairs on them.

No, I am not color blind. The shortest wire looks more green in person that it does in the picture. If you look towards the left end of that wire, that shows the color the best. I cannot see the other ends of the wires down by the solenoid.
