If you bypassed the solenoids and the motor works then its the solenoids themselves...even though they "click" doesn't mean they will work...all that signals is the electrical plunger that moves back and forth inside the solenod to make the contact is working...the electrical contact points for the power to run through may be corroded inside and not making contact...
Have someone hit the switch at the dash and get it to "click on" then you try tapping on the solenoids with the handle of a screwdriver and see if it kicks it on...
