Check between the negative battery post and starter housing (should be 0.3 volts or less). [links]
* To check the starter solenoid or relay connections, connect the meter positive lead to positive battery terminal on the solenoid or relay, and the meter negative lead to the starter motor terminal. Crank the engine and note the reading. A good connection should have a voltage drop of 0.2 volts or less. here
C. Connect meter positive lead to battery negative (-) post.
Nasty looking battery terminals that are blooming with corrosion obviously need cleaning. But many times corrosion forms an almost invisible paper-thin barrier between the battery terminals and cables. To the naked eye, the terminals and cables look fine. But high resistance in the connections is preventing the high amp current from getting through.
Start by checking that you have a good battery that is fully charged. Make sure that all cables have clean tight connections on BOTH ends of the cables, and they are properly sized.
If you don't have this to start with, the rest of these tests are meaningless.
Ok, lets say when you hit the switch you hear a click from the engine, but no cranking of the starter. Now what do you check.
Simple, back to the slave solenoid on the engine. Hook up your test light clip to a good ground and touch the tip to terminal A, if it lights, touch it to terminal B and have your helper hit the starter switch again. If you hear a click and the light does not come on, then the problem is a bad slave solenoid. If you are out and need to start the engine, you can disconnect the wires from terminals B and C and hook them together and you will be able to bypass the slave solenoid all together and it should work. If not, due to long wire runs, just jump between terminals A and B to crank the engine over.
If the light does come on, move on to the starter solenoid itself. here
While this may sound like a lot of work, it only takes a few minutes to check things out.

Hello to all! This is my first time posting on this forum,
How to tell if starter relay is bad? Well, it is one of the major but often neglected components of the ignition system. It rarely breaks down due to not having many moving parts. But, when it does, some bad starter relay symptoms will make you aware of the problem.
You should be worried if it remains on long after the engine has kicked off. The possible reason could be the welding together of the contacts due to overheating or exposure to a high volume of current.
But, these things don’t happen when the relay is bad or damaged. When the car does not start after turning the ignition switch, check whether the battery is dead or not. If it’s fine, the problem is definitely with the starter relay. more
