Hello, you would also have to check the battery cables, positive and ground. You might turn on the headlites, watch the lites when you turn the key to crank, if they stay bright no reaction, there is an open circuit somewhere. If the lites go out or almost, it is usually the battery or cables. I can't rule out the starter itself.
With a manual tranny, check the circuits at the clutch switch. With the clutch pushed in and the key in the crank position, both circuits should be hot. The purple wire at the starter solenoid, gets feed from the clutch switch. Any testing, make sure the tranny is in neutral, the e-brake is set and the wheels are blocked.
