87 ford ranger ign to starter solenoid wire dead

[Jlutz]

Just bought an 87 2.9 v6 4x4 5 speed, truck wouldn't start, replaced fuel pump, starter, battery cables, starter relay, ignition switch, ign module on distributor, fuel pump relay, engine turns over but will not start unless i squirt fuel into the intake manifold, my red wire with blue stripe coming off of the ignition switch going to the solenoid is completely dead, traced wire through the harness and no breaks in the wire, it was 12v when i started the project and now it has no power? Any body know what components may be shorted out that would cause this?
