Wifes car (2007 1.2) hasn't been starting over the last couple of weeks. Went to have a look at the connections to the starter and noticed that the starter motor solenoid wire isn't attached to anything! I can only assume it's been sheared off, but I haven't got the foggiest where it's meant to go.
From the top of the car, I can't see anywhere obvious, but will get a chance to get underneath it tomorrow. Googling hasn't suggested me anything.
Does anyknow know where it's meant to go? Even just the general direction from the starter itself?! I'm no mechanic!

Ta!
(Just to clarify, the wire *is* attached to the starter, just nothing at the other end).

It goes into the loom near the gearbox. Presume this is a petrol?

Re: Starter Motor Solenoid Wire?
Perfect, thank you! I take it that should be fairly accessible from underneath the car with the tray off?
Yeah, it's the 1.2 petrol.

Yeah you should be able to trace it. I’ve just had a look on mine and it’s quite accessible
