How do the wires hook up to a starter solenoid on a 1992 Mercury Topaz?

On a 1992 Mercury Topaz, the starter solenoid has several terminals for connecting wires. Typically, the battery positive cable connects to the large terminal on the solenoid, while the other large terminal connects to the starter motor. A smaller terminal is used for the ignition switch wire, which activates the solenoid when the key is turned to the start position. Ensure all connections are secure and free of corrosion for proper operation.
