broken off wire, has crank, no start

[Jrayrieb]

My 2001 Ford explorer sport track had a massive coolant leak and was over heating. I replaced the water pump and the cooling fan and went to start it and it won’t turn over. This wire broke off from somewhere. I’m guessing the starter solenoid but I’m not 100 percent sure. And I don’t know how to get it back on. Here is a picture

Your title and description conflict. Does the Engine crank with key, or do you get nothing?

I figured it out. I had just replaced the water pump. When I installed it I unknowingly displaced the bolts to the crankshaft sensor bolted it back on correctly and fired right up.

Yeah it’s worse underneath. The owner said it had been overheating for awhile. I think I’m going to have to change out the cylinder cover gasket. I’m gonna clean it up first and see if I can pinpoint exactly where it’s coming from.
