1. Ground seems good, the starter starts up via remote.
2. The batter/charging seems good, back to a remote start showing battery to ground as good.
3. Solenoid is between the starter button and starter motor.
4. Back to a solenoid to a starter button and said corrosion/poor contacts internally say?
5. Say you try a solenoid and see what happens. With the start button, it either lights up the solenoid wire with a test light which means, that's all it does is makes the wire hot so the solenoid creates a magnetic field, pulls the pin to make contact; as if you took a screwdriver to the studs and directly feed current to the starter. Make sense?

disconnect the battery first. Pull the back cover off the solenoid, (3 little screws) pull the plunger out and clean the contacts.
