Why two starter solenoid wires?
On most cars, other than the large battery cable, there is only one wire going to the starter solenoid.
On MBs, there are two. I am about reinstall the starter (easy with the heads off :-), so I need to know which one goes where, and am also wondering what the other wire does. Thanks, Csaba

one is for the solenoid the other I believe is part of the resistor bypass ignition circuit, so that when cranking the coil sees 12V.

It does matter which goes where.
One will, when 12 volts is applied, pull in the solenoid. The other, when the solenoid is pulled in, will supply 12 volts. Michael
