There's always the whole smacking it with a hammer while turning the key trick...

I am really really REALLY not wanting to pull the starter again. It is the last thing I wish to do. And Ill try hitting it tomorrow.

That will let you know if there is a bad wire or connection.

I beleive it is the same way on this, Ill have to double check, and I havent had an assistant yet to try at the starter, but I did how ever check at the battery when I was manually bypassing everything, I drew down to about 11 before the wire I had started to heat up.
