It sounds as if the solenoid is working and there is an open or poor connection or too small of wire somewhere. You almost need to mount the solenoids on plate with the bat buss bar & the motor connected properly. Connect the neg bat to the bus bar either directly or with a piece of heavy wire. Make sure there is a good ground connection between the motor and frame with no paint and a good connection between your pos battery cable and frame. When that is OK, then take a small piece of wire and touch the small solenoid terminal to the frame. If it works then that was the issue, if not then solenoid.

Edit: The 24077 is the same relay in a plastic case and would work if that is what you want.
