Morning,

Not on the Ghibli.

I removed the starter motor to get it rebuilt - didn't take pictures......

Car starts without the wire attached, but it must go somewhere. I am guessing it is an earth.

It cant attach to the mounting bolts, they sit in recessed holes. I have no spare bolts or nuts.

First pic is the starter motor connections
The second is the loose end
The third is the other end of the wire.

Thanks

thank you.

It came off of the starter motor, i believe the other end attaches to the frame is the earth, would the starter motor have this as the earth ?.

Engine/gearbox starter needs an earth connection to the chassis as it’s mainly rubber mounted.
