Solenoid Installation LT46 XT1

[kmacman]

Good morning,

So I committed the ultimate sin and forgot to keep track of my wiring config when I was changing out the solenoid on my LT46 XT1 . I usually take a pic or write it down on any DIY job but in my defense, the 10 min job tuned into a 1 hour since one of the posts on the factory-installed solenoid stripped and just kept turning and kept turning when I tried to get the nut off. Guess my frustration and anger made me have a memory dump and I couldn't remember the wiring config.
Enough of the excuses... I've search high and low for a pic or diagram that shows the actual solenoid and wiring instructions. I find schematics and while I understand them, I'm an old military knuckle-dragger and apparently need a pic or crayon drawings to get it right
I've attached a pic, just need to know which wires go to which contact/post.

4 wires?
4 wire solenoid?
1 wire to each Terminal, big wires to big terminal, small wires should plug in doesn't matter how they're hooked up.
Unless
If there is a seperate small wire with a ring terminal in it? It needs to go to the battery side big terminal.

There are several models of XT1-L46. Specifically, what model is stated on the Model Tag? It should start with 13A.........

Model Number is 13APA1CT056.

its a 4 connector.. 2 large terminals then two small male connectors. i popped a fuse with the replacement before and my have fried the new-old solenoid on the first try.

The starter solenoid should be 725-06153A which is a 4 terminal solenoid. Two large lug terminals and two smaller "spade" terminals.

(A) It does NOT matter the orientation of the two large wires.

(B) it does NOT matter the orientation of the two small wires ( BLK, ORG/WHT). One is hot (ORG/WHT) when the Ignition Switch is in the start position and the other (BLK) is battery ground. Like hooking up a 12V light bulb, it does not matter which terminal is ground and which one is 12V+.

Model Number is 13APA1CT056.

FYI - That model was made from 2015 thru 2019. When ordering parts, make sure you have your chassis serial number available to get you into the right year.
