Yes it does engage the gear so I did wire the two = solonoids=20 in parallel on the activation wire but I disconected the battery cable = from=20 its' normal input side of the mazda solonoid and put it on the side = that has=20 the cable going to the motor. This way (I thought) no current is going = through=20 the mazda solonoid contacts. In spite of my being convinced this = would=20 solve the problem, I regret to say there is no change: stays running = after=20 starter switch opened.

So doesn't this have to mean that power is getting = from the=20 contacts to the coil of the solonoid???.
