L35 Starter solenoid and wiring help request.

[blacksmith]

Advice needed on Gas L35 stater solenoid wiring. Helper scrambled wires on solenoid trying to fix a no start problem "Replacing Bad Solenoid " I understand the Batt and Starter output connection, ground for solenoid provided by chassis, and +12v on the "S" terminal pulls the relay Confusion is proper home and identification of two smaller wires! I cant find +12v volts on the two smaller wires when key switched on or button pressed. I looked for a ground by having test light clipped onto the battery, the other side looking for a ground to light it. One small wire seems to go to ground when key is turned on, then other wire seems to provide a ground when button pressed. I need +12v for "S" when key on and button presses. Scratching my head! What goes on under the dash with key switch and button? fuses? Am I just picking up a false ground through a meter or buzzer and the fuse is blown somewhere? A schematic wiring diagram for the L35 Skidsteer showing switch function and voltage path might help. Should key switch wire go to Batt terminal and button wire to "S" terminal? thanks!

The terminal with the battery cable should also have two other wires on it. One goes to the ignition switch and the other to the alternator. The other small wire that attaches to the "S" terminal recieves power when the key is turned to start or if you have a push buttom it comes from that switcch.
