Question Need help with starter problem!

I just changed the starter solenoid on my 1987 Mercury Grand Marquis, and for some dumb reason I spaced when reconnecting the wiring to the solenoid. It's a 5.0L with the fender-mounted solenoid. If anyone knows which wires go to which side of the solenoid, I would greatly appreciate the help.

Thanks in advance for any assistance,
Jason

That's what I thought and also how I set it up. It just would not crank, then I realized my battery had went dead from trying earlier, before I put the new solenoid on. Thanks for the help. sometimes I feel so stupid, but that's what I get for rushing.

Thanks again,
Jason
