here's a pic.

the bottom terminal is where the positive battery cable was connected with the fusible link between them. the middle (smaller) terminal had another connection on it (I assume negative) and that's it.
what do I need to connect where?
when i connect battery to then bottom (postive) and middle (negative) connector, nothing happens.
if i reverse it (connect neg to where pos was) the solenoid clicks just once... but that's clearly not right because it creates little nicks/burns in the metal from the crossed current.
seems like this should be easy.
also im using (new) jumper cables, so they should handle the current just fine.....
