The remote solenoid has two large terminals. One cable from the battery to either one, and a cable from the other to the starter. They usually have two small posts also, but you only need to run the keyed power to one of them to engage the solenoid. Can't remember which one, but run a small wire from the battery post to each of them, one at a time, after the main cables are on, and you will know very quickly which one to key up.
