Default Ingition switch and kill switch

Hello Everyone!

I'm very grateful for the help i got when i had a '97 integra gs-r; now I'm a proud owner of '96 prelude vtec. I just bought the car from a guy who couldn't get it started but the car ran until this summer. He thought it was the starter. I just connected a jumper wire from the started directly to the battery, put the ke to the ON position and it started right up. So i guess the problem is with the ignition switch. When i turn the key I hear a click in the ignition switch somewhere (not the click the starter makes) but nothing happens so I am driving around having to start the car under the hood every time.
Is there any fuses or relay I need to check before I replace the ignition switch? And do I need to replace the entire assembly or just small part with the key? While i was at it I also would like to install a kill switch somewhere. And what is the best online place to buy parts, the marketplace here seems to have mostly performance part. Thank you for reading my post!

Here is the best site to learn about kill switches. Disregard that the site is made for civics; the same principal applies.
Apologies for not troubleshooting your starting problem. I dont want to provide help if I can't verify myself. Shooting from the hip wrecks cars.

Good luck
