Hi
So what I had been thinking was heatsoak on the starter, is turning out to be something else.

Last Sunday I took it out, and then it wouldn't crank. The next day still nothing. I grabbed my meter, no voltage on the purple wire on the solenoid.

Next I went to the neutral safety switch. No voltage on either the green or purple wire.

So next I went to the starter enable relay, no voltage on the 2 yellow or drk green wires there. The black/yellow (VATS wire) had some voltage like .6 if I remember correctly.

Symptoms:
Turn key to on, you can hear the fuel pump prime. Turn to start nothing happens. As a test we applied 12v right to the purple wire near the neutral switch and the car fired right up.

Crank Fuse: good.

VATS has been bypassed

What's left? Is the key/ignition the only thing left to trace back too?

Sounds like your troubleshooting it correctly and your down to the ignition switch or power to the ign sw.

Where does the switch get it's power, is it possible to check, without taking the switch out?

From the starter lug

cdoyle

so if I'm reading that right, the switch gets power from S200, which comes from C-100.
Where is S200?

I have power on the main lug on the Starter. But I know there are 3 or so wires that connect there. Not sure if power is going from there on out.

I'm not sure where that splice is . You might want to check the 3 wires after the pellet ( fuseable link).

cdoyle

OK, I'll check to see what I have after each link.

Are those links replaceable?

To replace a link you need fuseable link wire.
