The push-connect small wire at the spade connector can corrode and cause issues Next check will the starter with a + wire to bypass the solenoid, if it turns then it's not the main earth (probably) or starter itself (probably) - likely then to be either the little wire that connects solenoid to starter.

I’ve put a new starter and solenoid on it s that wire that connects the two should be ok I will try and workout the direct wire from the battery I’m guessing to the starter and make sure it turns over

It worked when I jumped the relay but that’s what blew the starter relay and then no power to the solenoid will test the wiring to starter but it must be something to The ignition now as no lights on binical

I’ve got a tester for wiring I’ve just checked the relay all good power to solenoid and power to main bolt but no green light to starter but I think that gets power when the key is turned

Mine did this last time i had the dash out, can only put it down to a dodgy connection behind the dash. Jiggled the plug and it's been perfect ever since
