since im smarter than the average bear, i decide to check the voltage on the batteries. they both read 12.63 volts and i made sure to unplug the batteries from the leads to get an accurate reading. although on the right battery i was unable to get the positive lead off. i ended up giving up on that and decided to read it anyways and it read 12.63 volts like the other one. idk if bad wiring could be the issue though. because it worked before. other than bad wiring there couldnt be anything else that could be messed up.

Not really familiar with what you have but sounds like you have a sticking solenoid someplace. And don't over look the new one you have.

EDIT: also i tested my starter solenoid on my fender and it checked out just fine. it was getting the 12 volts it needed and was turning off when it was supposed to and wasnt sticking
