Calling all Wiring Guru's?? SOS!

[typhoon]

I'm still having starting system problems, I have just finished a load of multimeter tests that indicate there is a problem, but I can't figure out what it is. Any ideas would be welcome..


My battery is dying, it reads about 10.7 volts, I have power up to my ignition switch that also reads 10.7 volts. When the purple wire is connected to my solinoid, and the ignition switch is in start, from the purple wire I read 3.4 volts. When the purple wire is off of the solenoid, and the ignition is in start, I read 10.7 volts. with the purple wire off the solenoid, and the ingnition in RUN, I'm reading 4.3 volts from the purple wire. What the?? In any case, the solinoid fails to even click. My ignition switch is brand new, and my starter and solenoid are tested used parts from the wrecker. When I test current flow from my pos Battery terminal to my block, I read 10.7 volts. From main pos power on the back of the solenoid to the block, I read 10.7 volts.

Sorry for the long post, I am beyond confused...please help!
