Starter not working

My 1995 Nissan Quest decided not to start. I turn the key, everything gets power except the starter. I jumped the starter by crossing the terminals on the solinoid with a screwdriver. The starter spins, but no start. I replaced the Ignition. I replaced the Ignition Switch. I replaced the Inhibiter Relay (by the battery). I replaced the Ignition Relay (next to the fuse box under the dash). I took out the starter and had it tested, it works. I cleaned the battery terminals, no start. I volt tested the battery, 12.9v. I volt tested the small wire on the solenoid, no power even with the key turned to start. I volt tested the plug that connects to the small wire on the solenoid, no power. I followed that wire to what i believe is the inhibiter relay (which i already replaced) Im stumped, Im ready to scrap it even though it ran great before this problem. Please Help!

WSo how do I figure out if its the ignition, ignition switch, inhibiter relay, or inhibiter switch? There are no other relays in the van that are the same as the inhibiter, so I can't just swap them.
