There should only be 3 wires I think. One big one and two small ones. The big one is the hot wire, one of the smaller wires go on the solenoid, and the other wire for some reason the last one may need to be grounded.

I think there is 4 wires, 2 red ones that go together, then black one that goes on the right place. the other wire goes to the left

Sorry this isn’t a better picture..

I recall three wires of three different sizes and that they simply attached to a corresponding-sized connection.
