Am I reading this correctly? You put the multimeter inline with the yellow wire from the starter switch? The multimeter won't pass the current needed to kick the solenoid.
- If the yellow wire was through the multimeter then lack of voltage elsewhere would be expected.

The wire for the solenoid should just be clipped to where it wire connects so you can get the voltages while the system is operating.
