I'm still stuck in silenoid, hell....Mr, WizARD!!!

OK maybe someone has the key to this problem. My starter is a mini one, high torque...don't know what brand. On the back of the silenoid are one spade terminal, and two copper studs with nuts and lock washers. The bottom stud has a wire that goes into the starter. That's the silenoid back. So I cut the (M&H Harness) Purple wire, attached a female spade and plugged it in. Taped the yellow wire back, and ran Battery POS cable to the stud above the one that has the wire going to the starter. Turned the key, NOTHING. Checked HEI cabel and clip, no power there either. So I pulled the spade off the silenoid and ran a small positive wire from the battery to the purple wire just to see what happened and turned the key and the dash brake light goes on and off like it should when start the truck.

Do I need that yellow wire???

So that's what I've done. I'm going to see if a mechanical friend can stop by.
Anyone with idea's???
