Ok, I looked at the connector in question on my car; it has the same three wires and colors as yours. Pulled off the connector; one terminal has battery voltage, the other has none (ground). Put my meter on the terminals extending from the steering column and found that the little switch gets activated when the key is in position 2, but not in position 1, not sure about starter position.

I'm not sure what that switch is actually for, but you should be able to jump that connector no problem. I would test this on my car but half the engine is apart and I can't test whether or not that connector being unplugged will cause a no-start.

OR - better yet, can you plug in the connector and tape it in place, then bolt the ignition switch in place and just use the key?
