Greetings,

I’m installing a starter for an Oldsmobile Alero 2002 3.4L V6, and I’ve run into a curious situation where there are 3 wires but only 2 posts to connect them to. It looks pretty clear that the small wire goes to the smaller 8mm post, but does anyone know if I connect only one wire to the larger post or put both on there?

And if I connect both of them, does the order matter?

Here’s a picture of the situation. The larger post in the back is where one or both wires connect to.
