I sure wish someone would cut up a relay (solenoid) and post pictures of it so we could see how it is put together ?

About 6 months ago, I replaced a defective relay (solenoid), and broke open the starter relay open. It was built like any other relay, it had bigger contacts and bigger switch.

Wiring a [Solenoid]

It would only click before (weak/bad battery), but after replacing the fender-wall solenoid, it doesn't do anything! And there are no lights (or action, or camera for that matter), and no power to anything.

It looks just exacly like the one in the pic (thanks Mr. Mil1ion!). Can someone explain or point me to a wiring diagram that will tell/show me what wires go to what terminals?

Thanks in advance...
