I was wondering if someone can help me. I need to know how to place the wires for my solenoid on my car properly. Long story short, my father took the solenoid off without paying enough attention to the wire placement, thinking that was what was wrong with my car. It turned out that was not the problem, it was the starter, but now that I have the new starter on it it's not working and making lots of crazy noise (apparently because the starter is staying on according to a mechanic who came and looked at it), as well as draining the battery... but no one knows how/where the wires go on the solenoid.

I'm wondering if someone can maybe take a photo of theirs to send me so I can figure out how to get them on there right. Otherwise I'll have to spend a lot of money I don't really have to have it towed to a garage to get it done. It's a 1994 Ford Tempo with a four cylinder engine.

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help me out. I'd really appreciate it!

first off srry no digital camera. if you standing at the drivers side of the car the ground wire goes on the left of the solenoid (the black wire). the small wire with the boot on it goes on the post marked with s if you have two. all others go to the other side of the solenoid hope that helps.
