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
