STOP RIGHT THERE!

Now, go to the right side of your engine, where you were just messing with
the starter.  Find the wire coming into the compartment alongside the big
plastic tubes for the tank vapor recovery arrangements.  Find the wire
coming out of the harness on the right side.  Plug the two together.  Pay
the doctor and enjoy!
