<VV> Starter question

[Robyn Wood]

This self induced issue has been resolved.  Appears that even when you have
diagrams, voltages present on the proper wires, and wires that "fit as they
were made" for the connections, you can still wire things up backwards.

Seems that when your 12v starter to coil wire is hooked to the start side of
the solenoid, the starter wants to turn as soon as the key is in the on
position.  

It is an after market solenoid, can't read the terminal markings from under
the car, and it is backwards from the references/pictures in the manuals.

Ok,
	It has been a long couple of days.  Everything is back together but
there is one hitch.  What would cause the starter to engage (turn on) when
the ignition switch is only in the "ON" position?  I have double checked the
wires, looking at the back of the solenoid, the top wire (maroon), is
connected to the starter relay, middle wire (large) is Positive to the
battery, and the lower wire (yellow), is to positive on the coil?

Any ideas?

I am off to search the archives for this issue, was hoping someone might be
up with a quick answer.

Thanks,
Robyn Wood
