Will not start/crank get is a clicking sound?

Could it be the solenoid? Because the one I took off that was factory didn't have the one single back wire on the back of the solenoid because the prong that the black wire on the solenoid is only on the automatic one when the jeep takes a manual one.

And the black wire was factory but never connected to anything.

It's one owner and I'm trying to get it running for my dad to drive again.

And can you tell me what the yellow wire on the fire wall does?

Because if it's important to starting it's in a bit of rough shape but still transfers power
because I want to replace it but if it's not important to getting it started. I'm not going to mess with it because all I need to do is get it running to get it out from under our back porch and on a flat bed.

Ken L. I have not heard from you are you okay?

I just replaced the starter and I tested it with jumper cables before I put it on.

And the ground cable does work. The lights turn on and I can even turn the wiper blades and the fan everything can turn on just won't try to start.

And the starter wire does have power because I got shocked trying to put the starter in.

But can you please send me a complete wire diagram of the wire harnesses on the fire wall as a reference if anything happens to the wires I know if they are important to starting it or not.

First can you tell me if this could be the issue I got the starter solenoid for an automatic engine when the one it needs is a manual solenoid.

We had a family friend that was a mechanic work on it about 6 years ago and he had it running decent, and it's just been sitting since nothing really was done to it it's still 90% original it was running every now and again, but it just stopped about 2 years ago roughly.

There is power going to the starter. Could it be that not enough power is going to it?

And the ground cable does work.

It has power that isn't an issue with any wires because every single light works, and horn works and the horn is battery powered I don't know though, you tell me.

I will check the connections and let you know within 4 weeks.
