Have you checked the earth (ground) connection to the solenoid coil?
Power for the solenoid comes through the switch (from the solenoid contact terminal - the same terminal that the battery lead connects to, ''not'' the solenoid contact terminal that connects to the starter motor) to operate the solenoid.

As you said that the switch is OK and have replaced the solenoid with a new one then the problem is either the ''wire to the switch'' from the solenoid, the ''wire to the solenoid ''from the switch or the earth connection to the solenoid.

Have you checked the earth (ground) connection to the solenoid coil at all?
