Need some help, I put a 5.7 in my 09 Ram, it’s taken about a month and a half being that I’m doing it in my spare time, I’m putting the starter back in and I don’t know where one of the wires goes, one is a push on clip, that’s easy enough, one is the hot wire from the battery, I know where that goes, but one is a round block looking thing (in my hand in the pic) and I can’t remember where that goes, any help is appreciated. *it doesn’t fit on anything on the starter and the wire is a little longer than the others, almost like it’s a ground.

It's the knock sensor wire,it doesn't go on the starter.Don't over torque it when you put it back on the sensor,as they don't like being over torqued
