This might sound stupid but its worth a lOok. Check the termals clean them up really good if they have any corrosion and see id they are connected and the wires are intact. And that point get a mutimeter and if you can set it to the ohms and test the lead from the switch to the motor, battery to the motor. The screw driver across the starter termals will let you know if its something like that. Most likely its something small like a bad/broken wire or a bad switch which you could also test withyour multimeter.
