You can trace back from the starter motor with a freind and a good meter. There is a relay that controls power to the starter. Cueck to see you have signal to the relay, amd that the relay is working. You can check the relay with a couple of jumpers and a small 12v battery and a meter.
All that said, the starter switch is very inexpensive and available at most all NAPAs. Its a safe and cheap shot that solved my problem...but not after I spent hours chasing signals. IMO start with the easy things and work your way to the complex. If you have shorted the clutch switch, you know thats not the issue. Check the relay, it doesnt cost anything to check, then I would buy and replace the ignition switch. If that doesnt work its going to get more complex as the next thing, I beleive (but am no expert by any means) is the security system comouter or ECU....or maybe a broken wire. In fact a friend just had this with a Boxster, where mice chewed through signal wires to relay.
