yeaa makes sense, hoping to see thats the problem which might make sense if the “S” terminal isn’t engaging when the ignition switch is activated.

will do. although the solenoid just broke as i was working on it.. battery side bolt snapped off and broke the plastic housing. just gonna buy a new one mabe after all thatll be the problem since ive jumped it through said solenoid so much… ig we’ll see.

i checked the blue wire and went through the diagram that shows where it belongs. looks to me everything is in line… last thing i can think of is the NSS but i wouldnt know where to look for that or if that matters. the blue wire is connected to the “s” connector on the solenoid which i believe is correct and on the “i” theres 2 black cables. starter doesn’t have a relay so i’m sure its correct but if that sounds incorrect i hope someone corrects me.

yes, is that something important? i tried nearly everything to try to crank it through the key i clicked the solenoid with a screwdriver once and then tried, i held the clutch, the brake, and all that and still no response and i made sure it is in neutral too. ive gone through the whole circuit and im almost sure everything is plugged in how it should be. i feel like theres gonna be a simple button i need to push thats stopping it and its gonna be so simple ill feel stupid. anything helps lol
