have you checked all your fuses under the dash with a multi meter to see if their good. is it cranking over and just not firing or nothing. also make sure your battiers are fully chrged. these trucks need at least 10.5 volts to fire the idm or that wont ley it start either.

Is the trigger wire hot with it disconnected or are u checking it connected to new solenoid? Could be a backfeed...Unfortunately, If both big lugs are hot too, the starter is probably toast now.
The mechanism is a little different on the column and the solenoid is a different type, but it works the same as the camper special to start.

rd/lb wire on the ignition switch connector should gain power when turned to start, after that it goes thru the clutch pedal jumper wire ( if automatic) or clutch switch if manual, and then thru the neutral safety switch out to the relay on the firewall. That's the whole circuit there.
U may also try pulling fuse 28 out of the cab fuse box just for ****s and giggles and see if that takes the power from the wire. You cannot drive the truck with that removed but I would be curious to see. If that goes out, then the range selector switch on side of trans is leaching power from the b/u light circuit to the start circuit.
