So when I got the machine, the solenoid plug was burned up. I ordered a new plug and adapter to solenoid. The plug is a 3 prong, with 2 wires. Does anyone know the correct wiring orientation? I see there are some small numbers on the plug. My old one was so bad it wasnt even attached. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Here is the plug that I need to wire up. I only have 2 wires and 3 spots. The log ten goes to the adapter to solenoid. Solenoid is a 2 pin plug style.

1 pin should be ground. The other should be hot from ignition
So I cannot get power to the original solenoid wires. I checked the fuse, relay ect. and nothing. So decided to go from the hot wire from the alternator when key is on. However, I get power to the solenoid, but they do not open up when key is in the on position. I tried it with 2 different solenoids. Would both leads be hot? 1 to open and 1 to hold?
