That leaves one more that must attach to the smaller connection which on this starter is a screw on. I have seen one that was ganged up with the heavy + from te battery.

i just don't know how it's done in a /4.

in SOME cars, the +post on the starter terminal is used as the connection from the alternator. that's how it works on my 911, where the alternator is at the back, the starter is in the middle, and the batteries are in the front.

so look to see if that's possible - if it goes to (comes from) the alternator. be very careful - you are dealing with huge amp sources, none of this stuff is fused, and crossed connections can be expensive at best, downright hazardous at worst.

maybe if we keep bumping this topic to the top, someone who KNOWS /4 electrics will be able to help you.
