I used original wires because there was no need to replace them.
Remove wires one by one
As you remove wires from old starter plug them into new starter before removing another one in same order you removed them.
Once all wires are on new starter let it hang, it will not fall. (Unless connectors are very loose in that ca se GENTLY squeeze connecters with pliers before attaching to new one).
Now remove old starter unscrewing battery cap and plastic nut.
Reinstall new one in opposite order nut battery,then cap.
Test
If it doesn\'t work you need the starter button which is what I had to go back and order so just order them both at the same time and save on shipping.

Unthread the plastic nut holding the ignition module (the part where you change the battery) where it is attached to the face of grille. Reach behind to gently pull the module (with a separate metal locating plate) from the mounting hole in the grille. Keep the plate and the module together if possible. Bring this module out where you can see the six wires attached by male/female connectors. Place the new module next to this module and pull off one wire at a time. You might need to \"wiggle\" the connector to free it up and pull it straight out. (You could use pliers if pulling the connectors off by hand is too difficult.) Place each wire connector onto the closest cooresponding location in the new module until all six wires are relocated to the new module. Place the module and plate back behind the grille and through the mounting hole. Thread and (hand) tighten the plastic nut to hold the module firmly in place. Insert a new battery as shown in the directions and you will be good to go.

Lifted out old upper & lower grates, brushed & cleaned around the edges & bottom of firebox and vacuumed out all the debris. Then I quickly wiped out what didn\'t lift with the vacuum. Dropped in new grates. Installed new ignition module, it was easy enough to remove the retaining nut on the module by hand, unplugged the wires for the ign iters, and installed the new module, by hand. Reconnecting the wires was very straightforward, so long as you keep the leads for the switch separate from the wires for the igniters (my grille has 4)
