Default RE: Starter Relay !!

What would hapen if the cables on the starter relay where switched around?

I am not sure what effect it would have switching the relay wires around, but the battery cable connects to the longest stud on the solenoid.
If you connect this cable to the shorter stud, the solenoid remains in the battery circuit....not good...........pg

edit note: You should have the relay installed. I recommend you get one and wire it into the circuit asap.

alright so get this!! I have power going to the relay 1 large post only and the small terminal that runs to the switch is power as well all the time?? the other terminal that runs to the Solinoid has no juice at all ?? therefore no juice to the starter?? Any quick thoughts on what I may have done wrong??
