1969 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow starter switch

Electrical problem
1969 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic 89000 miles

Replaced starter swich with comperable year, but there were extra wires that came from internal from the switch box. Did the exchange, one wire at a time, matching the colors. The car will not start, the solenoid does not engage, nor does the starter turn over. The lights work properly.
