Phew - at least you have isolated the area where the fault exists.
Yeah, you'll have to check the wiring from the start relay all the way down to the starter motor assembly. I call it an assembly as it's both a starter motor and the contactor (solenoid). One quick test would be to unplug the start relay and the start relay connection to the starter motor assembly at X6510 (on the back of the starter motor assembly) and then do a continuity check to ground on that wire, using a multi-meter. If you measure a short to ground on the wire, then the fault is in the wiring. If not, the fault has to be in the starter motor assembly.
HTH...
