If you have an alarm there would be a relay next to the Main Relay called the Starter Cut Relay. This relay has but one plug w/four wires while the other relay (Main Relay) would have two plugs ( 4 wire plug and a 2 wire plug). If you do not have the Starter Cut Relay then you will have a Blue plug with a few wires such as Black/Green, Black/White and a smaller gauge Green wire and this plug would be located close to the trailing coil. Plug would also have a jumper wire in the back of the plug mating the two thicker gauge wires. Once you find either of these plugs you will find the Black/White wire that runs down to the starter solenoid. Jumper this wire w/voltage and see if it turns the starter over.
And w/key to on do your wipers or turn signals work?

There are two switches on your clutch pedal. The one at the very top has two wires colored Black/Red and a Black/Green. B/R comes from the Ignition Switch and B/G takes this voltage to the Blue plug near the trailing coil. You need to measure the B/R wire w/key to start and it should read much higher than 3 volts.

If the two wires are properly jumpered then w/key to start the voltage you found on the R/B wire jumps to the B/G wire which is jumpered at the Blue plug and that voltage finds its way on to the B/W wire that runs to the starter, so just try to start the car.

It means you have a problem w/the switch on the clutch pedal for the voltage on B/R wire must pass on to the B/G wire in this switch when the key is set to start and the pedal is depressed. If it doesn't then the switch is problematic. If this were the case then you obviously can leave the jumper in place or replace/repair the switch.
