There are usually at least three connections to the starter solenoid - two are generally physically larger and designed to carry starter current. One of them will be connected to the starter motor and the other connected to the battery.
Depending on the circuit, if the relay is a starter relay its purpose is to provided the current to energise the solenoid and will be connected to the smaller terminal.

the starter cable is on one side by itself all the others are on the same side as the battery

Sounds like a dead short. May be the battery. Not sure what hooks to it as I don't know the year of the vehicle. Disconnect the battery cables and see what it does. Make sure everything is off before you connect the cables. If it arc's when you hook the cables up, there is a short somewhere.

You need to explain to me what you mean by "fuel injectors engage". Fuel injectors have nothing to do with the starter engaging with the engine and turning it over. You need to take the car to a place that can load test the battery for you. An autoparts store usually can do that for you. Or, if car can not be moved, take the battery out of the car to have it tested. Start there, then we can move on to other possibilities.
