You say it will not responce to cable jump. Do you hear any click from the solenoid? Maybe it does not get power from the ignition switch? There is a yellow wire attached to one terminal on the solenoid. This is from the ignition. Try to connect a jumper wire from the positive terminal of the battery to that yellow terminal and see if the solenoid will engage. If not the solenoid could be stuck open.
It's not hard to remove the solenoid, but access is tight from above as the air intake manifold is right above it. The solenoid is attached to the starter with 3 #2 philips head screws. I accessed the solenoid by removing the throttle body and surrounding ducts. It helps to have a right angle philips driver. You also need to remove the 10mm nut that holds the red cable to the back of the solenoid. I bought a brand new solenoid for $12 (not Bosch).
