Sounds like a wiring issue.
If you are not getting voltage to the trigger side of the solenoid, there may be a bad connection between switch and solenoid.
I would check for continuity on that circuit, then check power coming to the switch.
Could simply be a poor connection.

This may seem obvious but on our machine the door was out of adjustment and wouldn't engage the safety switch all the way.
This machine is an open cab I could only wish it was that easy thanks for the reply .
I am gonna test some things tomorrow with the meter and see where I end up if not I'm calling the mechanic in town I have work to do and don't want to look like Sanford and son jumping my machine out every time I need to start it I'll let you guys know where I end up but keep the input coming thanks
