Power to starter connection button terminal.

Ignition switch on Voltage at terminals on solenoid:
1: Battery positive yes
2:Jumper connecton terminal as per drawing, yes
3;Starter switch Yes ???
4:Starter motor No.

The solenoid has at the battery input terminal a 2 wire connection from ?
The solenoid has at the starter switch terminal a single wire connection From starter button I would think.

No solenoid click with button; clicks when grounding the button terminal on the solenoid. Sounds like a bad starter button on the dash, which is very common with the reproduction buttons. I just trashed my repo button and paid a stupid price for NOS button. The repo buttons can not be repaired as the tabs that hold the back on will break if spread to open and then bent back.
