Is this solenoid/relay under the hood on the fender lining? So you jumped the two large terminals? There should be a smaller terminal, ignition feed/crank position. If no voltage something wrong with ignition switch or that wiring circuit. I don't have wiring diagram for your model year, so I can't track it. Just my opinion.
