So, it's the smaller connector that comes from the Chassis Harness? Does this black have a large "lump" just before it enters the connector on the engine side? If it does that is a Diode. Do you have a pic?
have no picture. at the beginning of the wire it has a two wire connector that connects back to the chassis harness then too the engine

doesn't crank is about a helpful as doesn't work. Do you know how to troubleshoot do a basic testing of a battery charging and starting system? Own a VOM? The battery could be dead. When was the last time it ran?
battery is good tested that out already it was 12.66 volts

if that is while cranking it is excellent or indicates resistance between it and the starter, ground etc.. If that is just sitting it really means little. It can fall to 8V or 9V when cranking. The test has to be when cranking to see how well the battery holds the voltage.
