Go back and look at the last pic I posted on your original question - you'll see the solenoid wires and from that you can figure out where stuff should go.

As for the harness - the battery post is where you power the harness, the starter side of the solenoid is only active when you're pressing the starter button, so that post only gets the starter cable.
