Default short inside new starter solenoid?

hello all. glad i have a car to work on during 'shelter at home'!!!:

putting together a 69 bird.

new engine harness is plugged into firewall and currently only hooked up to starter solenoid. new battery cables installed, positive to solenoid and negative to stud bolt on head. no battery hooked up yet. i touched the leads from my multimeter to the battery ends of my neg and pos battery cables and got a beep. ???

i then touched the leads to the battery cable post on the solenoid and the case of the starter and got a beep. i checked connections and the cable connection is not grounding out.

starter/solenoid is a new hi torque powermaster unit. red wire connected to battery cable post and purple wire to 'S' terminal.

sounds like short inside the starter solenoid. next step is to remove and bench test.

any other ideas?

thanks guys
