OK. Now we can diagnose the cranking circuit. If you have gotten Section 8A of the Service Manual (Book 2) I am looking at page 8A-30-4 Chart # 1.
Do you have a 12 vdc test light? If not I suggest getting one at a auto parts store (sometimes called a Test Probe)
Connect the test light from the negative terminal of the battery to the connector you have on the "purple wire" which is the starter solenoid.
Turn the ignition key to START. Did the test light come on?
I am predicting the answer is no since you are using a jumper to crank the engine.
So, the next step is to test for voltage at the Clutch Safety Switch and then at the Starter Interrupt Relay. These items are under the drivers side hush panel, near where the VATS unit is hooked up. Do you know how to identify specific terminals on switches and relays?
