The purple wire in the mentioned plug, if you feed it +12v it should make the starter crank that might be an easy way to see if that part of the loom is ok

While unplugged, might also be worth checking to see if the relay is sending 12v down to the plug when you turn the key.

Tested but I am a noob with a voltmeter.... So be kind
I hooked it up this way turned key an nothing. That's after I swapped three different relays.

Pos to purple and neg to batt and nothing.
I did notice that when I plugged back in there is a very quiet high pitched noise. Don't know where it's coming from though.

And I don't know if it affects it but the abs and srs are disconnected and the fuse int the engine bay is removed.

Put the black lead in the "COM" socket of the multimeter, not the 10A one and try again ;)

I did try that too. And still had no reading. High pitch sound is annoying though

Tapped the starter motor and it just spun freely...

spun freely might indicate another issue, but if your not getting anything from the purple wire that's an issue, assuming the pic is showing it plugged into the engine bay loom side of the plug ?
