1. Green is ground. Check
2. Red/Yellow is what tells that relay to close as you mention above. Check
3. Red battery voltage to your relay would effectively shut your relay constantly and your starter motor would never stop trying to turn over until your battery juice was effectively depleted or the something burned up. That doesn't sound like what you are describing. Correct me if I misunderstood you.
Calling it a relay is making me think of it differently..lol You're correct, it is a solenoid and a relay. Give me a minute to process.
