Oldspiker: Good way to go; get a 12V connection from the battery to the solenoid. (Small faston spade, remove yellow wire)) It should click (Engage) Be prepared that it will also spin the flywheel (Engine) So, take it out of gear. There will be a small spark when you touch the spade connector. Ensure good ground.
The solenoid is a switch devise that pushes the small starter gear into the flywheel ring gear. Only then will the starter spin to start the engine. It all happens pretty fast. The "thing" in the trunk could be an additional starter relay.
