Cool beans. You know I had this very issue with with my 89' Jetta, only the ground wire had rotted inside the the insulation. I ended up taking it to a dealership (for a mere 500 bucks!!) to find that out. But now that I think back to that issue, it was a lot like this issue. After dinner I'm out to check ground wires...

I've never had so much trouble with a dang starter....
Ok, in my quest to find out what the hell is wrong with my car, I've sorted some things out and once again need the communities help.
1: has 12v all the time. Check, it's good
2: gets 12v when the key is turned and engages the magnet, sending the spur gear forward. Check, it's good.
3: gets 12v (high amps) to tell the starter to spin, when the key is turned. No juice. Nothing there when the key is turned or anything else.
When I trace this wire back it goes to a little silver box on the driver's side fender wall labeled "3P 2E Relay" I'm assuming this thing went bad? Can i make a jumper to bypass this to find out?
I've already replaced:
The starter
The main ground wires
The Battery
What does this relay ALSO connect to?
As always, you guys are the bomb and I'd buy you all a beer if it were practical.
