KRGC,

It could also be a bad section in the starter. The current for the solomnoid pick coil goes thru the starter and is shunted out when the contacts in the solonoid close. Then the hold coil holds the solonoid in the start position until the key is released.

Thus if the starter is not conducting current, the solonoid will not work.

U could try shorting the wire between the starter and solonoid to see if the solonoid works. Note, only do this mometarially. If the solonoid still doesn't "kick in", most likely the solonoid is not working.
