Confirmation Question

Okay guys... I have exhausted my capabilities to try and fix my no start problem

My fuels solenoid will not pull in on it's own.

I am about to take it to a Cummins shop and what I want you all to confirm is WHEN I GROUND THE BLACK WIRE AT THE THREE PRONG CONNECTOR TO THE RELAY AND PUT POWER TO THE WHITE WIRE THE SOLENOID PULLS IN >>>> THIS I HAVE READ MEANS THAT THE SOLENOID IS GOOD IS THIS CORRECT?????

I don't want to have the shop replace something I know to be good. So I want to be sure before I tell them I know it is working.

Thanks guys for your help but the problem escapes my meager abilities to find the trouble. I have replaced the relay and cleaned and ect. A small shop that does electical work here has no experience working on diesels so I hesitate to let him have at it to spend a lot of time and my $$$ trying to find the problem
