I have a 1970 Jeepster Commando and when i connect the Battery all the lights come on and when i go to try and turn over the engine it wont click.. i have bench tested the starter solenoid and it responded to the test with full function. I think i have the wires on the solenoid mixed up and i was wondering if you could help me with what wires go to the solenoid other than the + battery cable that goes directly to the Solenoid. Can you help me?
I am an Automotive Tech student and i am having a hard time reading the Electrical Diagram that i have.
Please help me

NOT SURE ON WHAT YOUR SOLENOID LOOKS LIKE.....MAYBE SIMILAR TO A '76-'86 CJ?

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A "I" TERMINAL.......YOU WILL NOT HAVE A "I" WIRE!.......SO DISREGARD IT IF YOU DON'T
