Click when trying to start
Well, I tried adding a ground directly from the starter to the bell housing and that didn't work.
I did try running a wire directly from the battery to the "S" terminal and it turned over every time so I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the "S" wire. I just need to try and trace it back to the source (wherever that is) and run a new wire. I'm thinking that's the issue. Does anyone know where the "S" wire goes to? Does it go to the steering column or just to the battery?

The s wire is a hot wire, not a ground wire. I've also tried 3 different starters so I don't think all three have bad solenoids.
I need to retrace the s wire to the source and run a new one. I really think there is a short or break somewhere in it. I tried adding 3 more ground wires with no change. It also does this more when the car is hot.
