There's only 2 wires that connect to the starter, the cable from the battery and the solenoid wire.

Starter grounds to the engine block.
The only wires that attach to the starter are the main positive feed, and the trigger for the solenoid.

Would the ground stop the starter from triggering when I turn the key. And is the ground wire the one that goes from that same piece of the harness to the center iron near the bottom?
