Solenoid does not work on Citroen Jumpy 2012

Car doesn't start when turning key to startposition. The starter motor doesn't run. After searching I found out that no current is coming in the cable to the solenoid. If I hold a screwdriver between the solenoid contact and the contact to the starter motor it runs and the engine starts directly.

Does anyone knows where/how the solenoidwire goes so I can be able to check the wiring step by step?

I have checked all fuses in the fusebox in the engine compartment and I have not found any broken. I also have searched for a startrelay and also have tried to find the solenoid wire at the fuse box. Haven't found any of them.

The fuse box layout is not the same as it is in the drivers manual so I can't understand which of the fuses there belongs to the startrelay/solenoid wire.

Re: Solenoid does not work on Citroen Jumpy 2012

The manuals and electrical diagrams are quite confusing for these vans.  Does sound like fuse and supply is the place to start.

It's quiet here on weekends but I am sure someone will know.

edit...
After a quick look araund, I stumbled on your post elsewhere when you say :-  "can hear a faint click under the fusebox in the engine compartment when turning the key to starting position" 
This sounds to me like the relay.

Where are you testing and not finding a 12v feed?
