Thanks for the help everybody, after some searching I did find my starter solenoid mounted in my dog house, directly above and behind my fan shroud. Which made trying to bypass the solenoid "tricky" to say the least, my cable from ignition to solenoid had power during start attempt, so now I guess its between the solenoid and the actual starter.
will try the screwdriver trick as soon as I can. And hopefully not lose an arm to an engine belt or fan blade in the process.
While it's a lot longer than necessary, a jumper cable can be used to jump the two terminals. Just be sure the extra cable isn't in the fan.
