Just to expound on the key off and on. If indeed the solenoid pulls
in, THEN is when you need to find the fault, current needs to flow to
find to find the bad connection. If you have 0.06 ohms of resistance in
a battery/starter circuit and the starter tries to draw 200 amps, there
is 12 volts dropped across your battery connection.*
You won't be able to measure 0.06 ohms.


At 200A, even one miliohm of connection resistance is going to waste 40W
of battery power.
