Default Little help with wiring.

Can someone with a 89-90 Mustang describe the wiring setup on their starter relay? I've been working on my wiring, and while I've gotten it to supply power in run, it seems like the battery has been completely drained lately.

I attempted to start it with a jump from my truck today. The truck was able to supply sufficient electricity. However, while I can hear the solenoid click, the engine doesn't rotate. I'm considering the possibility that my starter, while new, might be bad. I've never had it tested.

That's good, but it doesn't do the best job of showing me whats on the Battery side of the relay and whats on the starter side. Is everything supposed to be on the Battery side?

everything other than that one main wire is supposed to be on the battery side. the only thing that should be on the left terminal when looking straight at the solenoid is the one main wire coming directly from the starter. having a fully charged battery would help in cranking but as for this problem i recently found out that more times then not its the solenoid not the 130$ starter

Actually, yes. That is the maximum amount of help that I could possibly need. Thank you.
