How to test starter solonoid

Getting no power, lights, starter, nada. Battery is charged and good, just installed new alternator due to son reversing jumper cables. Had alt tested and they said it was bad.

Tomorrow will be checking and replacing fuseable links (2) at relay/solonid. Was also told there was one by ignition switch. Will also check ignition switch for burning or melted wires.

Any other ideas would be appreciated.

Did you check the fuzes after the alternator got fried, some fuzes might of blown as well.

Check your battery connections, and your ground connections. Also could be a bad battery cable. They can look good, but be bad inside.
