Technical Grande punto 2008 not starting

[Redeagle]

To be clearer,

I'm talking about the earth wire from the battery to the car chassis and then on to the gearbox.

Not the negative wire leading to the starter.

They're different wires.

Isn't the wire going to starter solid red? And earthed through block or am I missing something?

I did check that thread, they talk about 3 wires going to starter but the guy who made the post said there’s only 2, from what I saw a video from Haynes there’s only 2 wires that go on to starter not 3 so I don’t know what the 3rd wire is they talking about, is the relay same location as they mentioned ?

There is main positive red, exciter wire for solenoid and earthed through block of engine

Yes there’s a thinner wire for solenoid and thick 12v wire for the power to starter, the ground is from the block
