The solenoid has two sides; it is a switch: when the ignition key; (one side) is turned, it energizes "closes" the switch to the starter motor; (other side) until the key returns; opening the solenoid switch again. hope this helps.
Does anything else electrical work? The headlights in particular should come on. If nothing works, check the charge on the battery, then it's connections including the woven ground cable between the truck frame and engine. The solenoid should have the positive battery connection and a smaller wire connection to the input terminal. A smaller yet wire that goes to the small terminal, and a large cable from the output terminal to the starter motor terminal. Using a short piece of wire to short the small terminal of the solenoid to the large terminal that has the battery connection should cause the starter to run (the engine won't start because the key is off). Hope this helps get you running!
Check and see if the red wire goes to starter and the other to the battery and the litte one to the s on the selinoid
