So my starter failed a few days ago so I’ve ordered a brand new one and installed it in the car. I’ve managed to get it in without any problem and finished the job. When I connect my battery and try to start it, all I hear is starter spinning freely and not engaging into the flywheel. Did I not connect something? If so which wire would it be that I missed? Thank you

It sounds like the solenoid is not engaging. Was this a rebuilt or new part?
