Are you gone yet? :asshole I would check the power wire to the starter. On my old Ranger that thing used to jiggle loose all the time. I became an expert at climbing underneath and pushing it back on quickly. No amount of bridging the relay or anything would work. Had me stumped for quite a long time. ---

If you can bridge the solenoid, then you will take that out of the equation. Just get a screwdriver and hold it across the terminals while someone tries to crank. ---
