Mercury optimax no cranking issue

[Rovi]

Hi all,im seeking answers to my problem. My 2007 mercury optimax failed to crank suddenly on Tuesday. The warning horn beeps but the fuel pumps don't activate and the motor doesn't spin. The shift is in neutral and the kill switch is deactivated. I've swapped the neutral safety switch and the relay associated with the fuel pumps and still nothing. Is there something I've missed? Thanks

Bad solenoid?

Ok, I actually had a fuel pump issue and that is good now. The solenoid is good also because I just started the motor but I had to bridge the solenoid with a screwdriver with the ignition in the on position so it's still not starting from the switch
