im not sure if i completely understand your question. besides the big heavy gauge cable that goes to the starter motor there are 3 extra wire coming off the positive post. one is plain white and it goes to a plug that is not being used. i think it was for the original radio but i could be wrong. the second one is black w red and it goes to the ignition switch. the third on is red w green and it goes to my light switches. the starter control wire is black w white
Sorry, but you need a mechanic. I can't help. All I can say is my previous posts are accurate on determining if your starter is getting the right power at the right time.

You have light switches in the engine compartment? Sorry, your truck is modified, and I won't be of any help anymore. My question attempts to determine if you can tell the wire that goes to the positive post (fat red wire to starter) from the negative wire clamp (usually black with yellow stripe, unless replaced/modofied). It sounds like you found the clamp that goes to the positive post on the battery, but maybe it was modified.
