How did you test the solenoid? Did you jump it like I suggested? That test will eliminate a number of things and confirm others.
300 CCA should give you some action - solenoid engaging, maybe slow partial starter action. maybe enough to get it to turn over.
Unless you follow a stepwise process you are just chucking parts at it and hoping.
There is a way to isolate whether your starter switch is at fault. But you need to do the other test first.
