I put a Jumper clip from the "S" side of the solenoid to the disconnected purple wire that normally goes to that post. I then attempted to start the engine and after releasing the key, the starter continued to spin. I then quickly disconnected the jumper wire from the purple wire and the starter still continued to spin. I then had to disconnect the negative battery cable from the battery in order to get the starter to stop spinning. I think this proves that the solenoid is the issue and not the starting circuit? Is this correct and should I replace the solenoid? Thx.
