Get someone to (try to) crank the starter while you're testing voltage between chassis ground and the thin wire to the solenoid. If there's juice, everything inside the cabin is good. If not, it gets complicated.

Okay so did a thing. I tested the voltage of my battery again yet this time (about two hours later and using my light inside my car to crank while checking starter) it was 12.53v, and dropped to 12.34v when trying to start the car. Still nothing other than the typical humming, no sound coming from starter. I haven’t tested the little wire yet so I’m gonna do that tomorrow and get back to you guys. Would that indicate a wiring issue inside the car? Like to the radio or something? Because whenever I try to start it everything shuts off for a moment then turns back on but it’s been like that since I got it. Also, is the clutch switch for only the car starting? I live in LA and traffic can be buttcheeks, pushing the clutch in and out frequently. Maybe that could burn it out faster? And is the starter relay in ze box?
Really appreciate the help with diagnostics btw. Y’all are awesome and hella funny lol
