Applicable to these part numbers:

THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO BOSCH STARTER SOLENOIDS. This only applies to *some* Magneti Marelli starter solenoids. If your Magneti Marelli starter solenoid has two 5 mm terminals, one will be for the thick red wire from the starter relay. The other will be for a ground wire. The easiest solution is to ground the solenoid to the body of the starter, as shown in the photos below.

The short black wire with two ring terminals grounds the starter solenoid to the starter body.
