Yet another.

This one is to give you a better understanding of exactly where it is. What do ya think. It kind of looks like it is supposed to be like this, but I'm not sure.

I don't recognize it, but I don't think it's related. If I were you, I would make sure the tranny was in neutral, disconnect the coil, and while holding the key in the start position, investigate the wiring under the dash. Gently grab and jiggle some wires until it makes a difference, and then investigate. There is a bad connection somewhere between the ignition switch and the red/blue wire at the solenoid, and you're just going to have to try and find it. If you'd rather, you can unplug that wire from the solenoid, and jump it to your test light inside the car so that you don't have to drain the battery while testing by having the starter crank. Either way, you need to jiggle different wires until you find some that directly affect the starter wire when moved. Then go from there.
