OK, I moved my relay and power distribution box for a snorkel install and forgot to take a pic of the relay...dirp. Just want to double check my wiring with the pros. First of all, starters are not directional, right? So it doesnt matter which side I put power on? OK, so on one large terminal I have the starter wire. On the other large terminal I have a hot wire coming from the battery and a wire from the power distribution center. Then there is the little wire on the small terminal that I believe is an ignition wire. I am I right? As always, a huge thank you to the gurus on here that put up with us paste-eating noobs.

My credo
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
Starters are very definitely directional and it matters a lot.

Starter relays should not be directional.
