Car would not start this past summer... At that I decided to continue gutting the interior, replacing coolant hoses, steering rack boots... things i felt more comfortable with.

This week I decided to tackle the eletrical issues, I was not willing to shell out the few hundred dollars to replace the corroded and cracked wiring harness that connects to the 14 pin connector so I replaced the majority of the wires best I could. I tried starting the car and got the same clicking sound from the fuse panel (same sound I experienced this past summer). I took a closer look at the panel and was going to try testing some of the fuses/relays and looked at XV on the panel for the starter relay and there was no relay, instead a switch is wired up to it, Here a couple pics of the switch and wiring... thoughts?

Can't tell if that goes into XV or XVII.

If XV (Starter Relay) that could be the source of your issues.

If XVII (Fuel Pump) that could also be the source of your issues.
