Default 96 Dak owners, where does this go ?

hi all and thanks for any replies..
use to be a 96 Dak 2.5 4cly 5 speed


I dont remember where this cable came from and its about 7
feet long..
Here is a photo of a cable, on one end it has a white conector and it plugs into the relay/fuse block on the fenderwell right behind the batt, on the other end
it has an eyeopening, I beleive it goes to the starter but im not sure ( been over 2 yrs ) and i didntmark it..

does it go to the starter?

if so does it go to the small lug or the larger one?


also on the relay/fuse block there is a cable coming out of it with a blk conector, does it go to the batt?

also in the pics or the batt hold down bolts

Ya it looks like it goes to the starter. Probably the larger bolt. It goes to the battery. There is another wire just like that where it will slide into it and hooks up to the post. on your batt. Are you sure its 7 feet long. Im sure you ment inches. The other cable probably goes to the post. on the batt. too. Post the pic we will see.

On my 3.9L, there is one cable exactly like that. White connector, its a power wire, going from the generator to the power distribution center. The female side (the one with the connector you have to pry up on to disconnect) goes to the PDC, the male side (the end you slide out when you pry up the plastic piece of the female side) connects to the generator.
