It would probably be best to back up on this one and tell what the original problem was that made you change your starter..

At the minimum there would be 2 wires going to the solenoid. A big battery wire and small trigger wire. The trigger wire needs to have 12v on it when the key is turned to the start position. If it doesn't have power, then nothing is going to happen when you try to start it...
