There are three terminals on the starter relay, a small one at the top and two big ones lower down. You should have one light gauge wire with a plug-on connector on it which plugs on the the top terminal on the relay.
You should also have a medium gauge wire that runs down to the starter (you may have to trace that one right from the starter), it goes on one of the relay large terminals.
All other wires including one from the battery and one from the alternator go on the other big terminal.
There is a wiring diagram here somewhere, posted by subford, showing the starter relay and would probably give wire colors but I can`t find it.
