It varies between cars and options the car came with.

There will be the battery cable. That goes on the big stud on the solenoid.

There will probably be 1 or more wires with a large eyelet to go on the big stud also. These supply electricity to the car. And possibly the link between the alternator and the battery for recharging.

There will be a wire with a small eyelet that goes to the small lug with the letter S next to it. This wire is “hot” when the key is in the crank position and energizes the solenoid.

There may be a wire with a small eyelet that goes to the small lug with the letter I or E next to it. This wire supplies full battery voltage to the coil while the starter is cranking the engine over so the coil can give maximum spark.

I hope this helps
