When the key is in the start position, are you getting power to the smaller wire on the solenoid? It should be 12v. Let me know.

Yes i had power out of the key but not to the firewall. I had to chase the wire back from the firewall and find a burnt out connecter. After many very frustrating hours that was the problem.
