starter issue

i have been having trouble with my batteries and decided to replace cables that had been beat to hell. in the process i broke one of the terminals off the solenoid relay and had to replace that as well. when all the fun was done i went to start it and now the solenoid is not engaging on the starter. the relay is engaging as it should and the starter is spinning freely. is there some i wired wrong or did the solenoid decide to join the crowd of thing thing stop working. i have tried to give it a little tap tap with no luck.
