Good afternoon,

I attached a diagram for you to view. The starter has power directly to the solenoid from the battery. Then there is a small wire to the solenoid which makes the starter work. That feed comes from the relay.

I attached the location of the relay for you. Remove the relay and test for power on 1 terminal with the key on. Then turn the key to start and there should be a second wire that has power.
