The common denominator will give you the clue you need.

Then make it hot again by pulling fan fuses or relay after a hard drive and letting it run with both hatches closed to maybe 240 deg so heat soak will happen. 
Then it is test ready.

It can be the solenoid since it is heat area located. 
Always works better is to supply power from a cool placed solenoid.
But then the heated solenoid problem gives click of not proper connection not cranking speed.

Use a 200 or larger amp carbon pile load tester to briefly max load your system, check your alternators real output and smoke out or heat up your ground flaw. 
Positive connect of tester to batt + and then move your neg from neg batt post to frame then to engine and note changes under load.
Easy to do and a very accurate test. Best to find it now not when you in trouble.
