Almost any auto parts store can bench test the solenoid on the starter for you. But you do need to remove the starter from the vehicle and take it in.

I do hope all the dissenters and OP send me flowers.

I wouldn't describe that one as the battery to starter, I'd call it ignition to solenoid.

The harness that comes of the firewall and has all the wires for the ignition and starter is called the "engine wire harness".

"Engine & Starter Wiring Harness" depending on who you ask, but it's a minor point.

Varies by engine and transmission, but M&H is my preferred manufacturer. Check board vendors first, they're here for a reason and are often cheaper. Here's an example, though this is manual trans:
