Default 96 prelude si sudden starting issue

Little brother is driving my prelude. For the time being.
All of a sudden prelude won't start.
It won't even turn over. No starter activity.

Known:
-battery has charge.
-starter is fine; verified by jumping solenoid wire from engine bay.
-it's not the ignition switch; verified by jumping starter wire and 12v wire (voltmeter verified) after ignition switch, before kick panel box. When I jumped 12v wire and starter wire, starter didn't do a thing, which it should have since starter is fine.
-jumped both clutch switches. No change.
-checked 7 amp fuse at drive side kick panel. It's fine.


I was thinking main relay, but I quickly changed my mind after I turned ignition to accessory and jumped the solenoid wire again. Car started fine and stayed on.

What I want to know, is if there are any other relays or fuses associated with this starting circuit? This is getting really annoying considering I can jump the starter and the car runs fine.

I didn't know there was a starter relay under the hood. Is it labeled starter relay or is it called something else
