Sorry, but I don't get it. Do you have 12 volts on the wire to the starter solenoid when you push the start button?
If no, do you have 12 volts on the starter solenoid fuse when you push the start button?
If no, do you have 12 volts on the starter solenoid relay at all times?
Let's start with that much.

I don’t have small enough test leads to test that micro fuse 30A. As mentioned above. The relay tests out. I measured a voltage of 12.4 V on the coil side on the fuse box and 10 something on the switch side. 0 v at the solenoid and measured open when I measure resistance.

I tried 3 brand new of the 30a micro fuses on the starter with the same measurement.

So why isn't that an open and shut case for a bad solenoid coil?

Because I took the starter in and tested it is fine. I am getting Zero volts to the solenoid connector. I am getting voltage when I test the fuse block where the switch part of the relay plugs into. Also, zero continuity from fuse block to the solenoid connector.

the issue is somewhere between the switch side of the relay and the connector.

Oh, I think I understand now. Sometimes the connector pins under the fuse block get pushed in. You might remove the upper part and get a look at the X2 connector.

OL on a DVM means out of range, when measuring resistance.

OL indicates the circuit has no resistance and is open. ie: no electrical connection between the two points being measured.

Back to square zero. Does anyone know if the ring terminal grounds on the passenger side go together on the same place on the block? Does one go to the Block and one to the frame?
