I am working on a 4.0 swap into my BII and of course I hit my first snag. As soon as I connected the battery the starter(which did work fine) started spinning w/o throwing the bendix forward. No key in ignition and then I even removed the selenoid wire(small red wire) and left just the positive wire and the thing will do the same- starts spinning. I thought it would need at least a complete circuit of the other wire. Does anyone have any ideas? My grounds are secure. No I do not have the positive connected to the small stud.
