Are you jumping the solenoid at the starter , or jumping the starter relay , that feeds the starter solenoid.

I have jumped it at the starter and there is relay in my back compartment also, That I jumped from what looks like a solenoid to the relay there. It starts from either place.

The starter relay in the compartment , needs to see a ground supplied from the trans controller ( indicating trans in neutral ) and power from the ignition key .
Can you have someone hold the ignition in the start position while you check for power at the small posts , with a volt meter or 12 volt test light .
Can you add more info about your coach ; chassis manufacturer? diesel pusher ? Trans model ?
If you can post a photo of the compartment relay , I can probably give more help .

Ken picture didn't come through , did you resize it ? 640 pixels works best for me , and wait till the attachment box says " download complete."
Is the RED a front engine diesel chassis ?
Does your 2500 series have a push button or lever shifter?

Were both still viewing the posts so you maybe typing while I am. 
Back to my questions about chassis and shifter .
Some members with Freightliner chassis and an Arens shifter , see photo of side of trans ( 2500 series ) have had issues with the shift motor blowing fuses and not completing shifts . Does this look anything like the side of your trans?

When you do get the engine started , can you drive the coach normally ?

Check the wire harness connection at the transmission for corrosion.

You'll need to contact Freightliner for wiring/testing info on the shift mechanism .
We need to consider that the shifter may not be providing a " neutral safety signal " to the starter relay to allow the engine to be started by the key .
Have your chassis serial number handy and call .
1-800-385-4357
If you get the info and have any problems with diagnosis , send me a private message and I'll do what I can to help.
With three others having issues with the Arens shift mechanism , I'm detecting a trend .
