Best Answer

Use an Ohm meter, make sure the power is off first. A broken wire will read 0 (zero), or infinity.

You have a wiring problem. Check really close the small wire on the solenoid. This wire is located on the opposite side of the solenoid that the big wire going to the starter is on. These are usually found corroded and/or broken inside the jacket insulation. You can run a jumper wire to test or use a tester.
