You probably got your lines crossed or have a default starter solenoid or bought one from junk yard and you lost on the gamble. I get the newer parts from junk yards as much as possible!! Good luck

The fender mounted solenoid only controls the operation of the starter. If you have no power what-so-ever in locations other than the starter, the solenoid is not the problem.
