well if hes able to jump it at the solenoid then theres nothing wrong with the ignition switch when its in the run position. its the switch he might have fried it when hooking it up. just buy a new one and that should do it. The problem is when the the ignition goes to start. So its the switch or from the switch to the next thing it goes to which would be starter I think have to look in my books. Give me a sec I will post back.

Check the white pink wire from the ignition switch. Follow it.
