To check the solenoid unplug the two small wires that go into it and connect them directly to the battery. If you don't hear a click, the solenoid is bad. I've had the two small wires come loose inside the solenoid where they are soldered to the electromagnet coil wire, and have been able to solder them back in place then insulate the connection with liquid electrical tape. If you remove the two screws in the top of the solenoid you'll be able to pull the cap off and check those connections.
