If it has two small terminals one of them needs a positive and the other needs a ground. If it has one small terminal then the body of the solenoid is ground so you would attach a negative to the metal body of the solenoid.
When it clicks the internal magnet is pulling a contact tip across the two large terminals which sends the battery positive to the starter.
