Just got my new starter from bus depot and it only has 1 spade connector on the solenoid there use to be two I have a adapter that will alow both wires to plug onto one connector but when I turn the key it just clicks what is the problem. Is the problem (the two wires connected to the same terminal), Are both the wires suppose to go to seperate connectors. The starter lines up fine and fits perfectly in the trans. Pleez help want to start my fresh 2.0

This is why:

> In the U.S. Bosch only sells rebuilt SR87X starters. But they do still
> build new ones for the international market - they just don't let us
> have them here in the U.S. The only difference, as you noted, is that
> since many other countries didn't use fuel injection, the non-U.S.
> version lacks the extra terminal (so you just connect both wires to the
> same posiive terminal).
