Yellow and Black go to alternator with that 2 wire plug?
The Green may be from the solenoid on the passenger fender.

It's true that the renix only uses relays and no computers correct?

Note from DJ
You need a ring terminal on a dark green wire attached to the threaded terminal on the starter solenoid.
See if you are missing this wire?

So you're saying the green wire goes to the small terminal in the starter solenoid that actually makes sense now because I couldn't find a wire for the solenoid

Tip 9 covers the TCU location.

Ground cable generally goes to another location, but at the dipstick tube stud is a great place for it. See Tip 1.
