| Firstly, check that the click when you press the starter button is definitely coming from the solenoid...if it is, you have proved that your low current starter circuit is not at fault.
Next is the solenoid...easiest way to check out if it's the solenoid is to short out the two terminals for the high current feed to the starter motor.
Pull back the two rubber boots covering the terminals on the back of the solenoid & short them out, easiest to use something like a pair of taper nosed pliers etc.
If the starter motor spins, there is a problem with the solenoid...if it doesn't, it's either the starter motor or the cables -cables can fail although it's unusual.
( The weak points in any electrical circuit are the terminals...they can come loose or corrode. )
To check the cables - disassemble, clean, grease ( dielectric or vaseline ) and reassemble the starter feed - battery to sol, sol to starter and earth to battery.
Hope this helps.
