Starter Relay

I googled the issue and it was a ford forum that came up, I have the relay wired correctly, and when you turn the key the 12v is there, but the tab that has the solenoid wire is cold. So obviously something isn't right. Like I said before, I put the 12v on the same table as the wire leading to the solenoid, and the starter turned over, could it be a faulty relay?
