I feel so stupid because I pulled the solenoid on my 89 5.0 LX and I think I put it back on wrong. Does the battery cable go to the side closest to the battery? If so, do all of the other wires with the exception of the starter cable go there as well. If some could look at their car I would really appreciate it. I am afraid I'll burn something up if I hook it up wrong. Any help or idaes would be great! Thanks!

All the wires with big lugs go on top with the exception of the one wire that goes to the starter. The starter wire goes on the bottom. The one wire with a push connector on goes on the screw post.
